Open Canoe Festival 2011


On April 21st to 25th, I was on the Drôme river for the Open Canoe Festival 2011.

The Open Canoe Festival is THE european event for all Open Canoes paddlers and for all those who like the canoe in general, and this on 3 days!!


Paul Villecourt is the organizor of that festival, he asked me to make the video.
You'll be able to see the video on the web in the coming days... I'll keep you update for sure!!


The start of the full day descent, 26 km of nature, clear and fresh water, ... Well the real life!!


Isn't it beautiful?!!
