Canoeing
The Aveyron river is a beautiful spot for a few hours canoeing , experience necessary. There are various companies to choose but you always canoe down river and get picked up at an pre-determined site and driven back to St Antonin. There are lots of places you can stop along the bank for a picnic and expect to see plenty of birds. When booking your canoe trip, mention that you are staying at La Résidence for a 10% discount.
