KAYAKOMAT Thouars
OPENING Apr 2026
Self-Service Kayak & SUP Rentals
Let yourself be charmed by Thouars, a town of art and history overlooking the Thouet valley. Between remarkable heritage and preserved nature, the river gently winds its way at the foot of the town, offering the perfect setting for a getaway on the water.
This is where your adventure begins, at the Prairie des Ursulines, just steps from the chain ferry and the boat launch. Imagine yourself gliding over the calm waters of the Thouet by kayak or paddleboard, carried along by the gentle current and the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
As you navigate the river, it reveals its many charms: green riverbanks, peaceful meadows and wild corners where nature flourishes. You might spot a motionless heron watching the river with elegance, or catch a glimpse of a brightly colored kingfisher flying past.
From the water, Thouars reveals a different side of itself. The perspective changes, the pace slows down, and every paddle stroke becomes an invitation to enjoy the moment.
Stable and easy to handle, your kayak becomes the perfect companion for this immersion in the heart of the Thouet valley. Whether with family, friends, or simply seeking a moment of relaxation, this outing offers a refreshing break in nature.
With KAYAKOMAT, renting is simple and 100% autonomous: book online, receive your access code, unlock the connected lock… and start paddling whenever you like.
This escape on the Thouet is much more than just an activity – it’s a new way to (re)discover Thouars from the water.
At this station, the minimum rental time is 1 hour. However, to fully enjoy the experience, we recommend booking 2 hours or more.
The station offers:
3 SUP paddles (from €14.50)

4 double kayaks (from €19.50)
The launch area is located just a few meters from the station via a gentle, accessible slope.
Any physical or sporting activity may involve health risks. Please adapt and moderate your effort according to your physical condition.
