France , the word alone invokes visions of quiet countryside, outdoor cafes, fine wines, and enchanting rivers. In this land of southwest France where history begins with prehistory, explore with BattenKill a landscape that takes you back in time. Castles perched on cliffs, bring us back to the Middle Ages. And 20,000-year-old cave paintings, still brilliant in color, remind you that this region is considered by anthropologists to be the "cradle of mankind."Holiday Trekking Vacation France

About Battenkill CanoeOur goal has always been to rise above the rest, to guarantee more than just an ordinary canoe trip, to provide you with a vacation that goes beyond the mundane. We plan vacations, not expeditions. Afloat, a new world awaits, a world of slowed-down time and stretched-out space, of peace and quiet beauty. From a river, you feel more, and see with different eyes. We at BattenKill take the importance of free-flowing, healthy rivers, and unspoiled outdoors as a priority. Our days are simple and loosely structured. Take a few moments at the water's edge and you will feel yourself wrapped by the river's gentle music, and find the sounds of civilization stopped for a moment. Such moments are timeless and natural.
