Welcome
to "Tonic Aventure" web-site. Discover the river Allier
area.
|
|
Among
the last wild rivers of Europe, the river Allier is one of the most
interesting for canoeing.
|
|
Starting
from Prades, following the salmons migration, you can canoe on 80 km
or more if you wish.
|
|
On
the first 50 km, you'll face the gorges (passes, defiks) of the
Haut-Allier with thier very special geology. From the beginning,
you'll be aware of the volcanic context of your trip with the
basaltic organs of Prades, then you'll go along perched villages,
sand or pebble beaches.
|
|
The
river is accessible ti everyone: level 1-2 with some level 3 parts.
You'll be surprised by the Haut-Allier: a place not very visited yet
with wild landscapes specially between Lavoute-Chilhac and Brioude
(halfway there)
|
|
After
Brioude, the river calms down, we are in Limagne, different
landscapes for the end of your trip. You'll remember the
"Valley of Wonders" end keep in mind amazing images.
