The Pier

The pier has been layed out in order to welcome the public in pleasant surroundings. A passenger bridge of access and a pontoon make boarding the boat easy and comfortable.

Don't hesitate to enjoy the space by the Tarn river for a family picnic during your holiday stay in Millau.

 

Our Boats

We use flat bottom boats for optimal stability, just like those which have always been used by boatmen of the region, for fishing or good transport. Layed out especially for cruises, they are carpeted and equipped with padded seats. The boat is manoeuvred by a silent engine and traditional boathook.

Each boat can hold up to 6 passengers

Nicolas, confident move !

Each boatman knows his river in the slightest details.

He is the leader of the trip. His words and personality are the essential elements of our boat ride. He knows how to best welcome his public, explain the fauna, the flora, the geography and history of our region. He will share with you his passion for the natural and cultural heritage of our region, from the Roquefort caves to the history of the Peyre village.

The shuttle service

Following your boat ride on the Tarn river, we organise your return in a minibus, from the landing stage to the reception area, through the old construction site tracks of the Millau Viaduct.
