PÉRIGUEUX CANOE-KAYAK: THE ART OF NAVIGATING THE ISLE

The club's mission

The Périgueux Canoe-Kayak Association is dedicated to organizing and promoting canoeing and kayaking in all its forms in Périgueux, in the heart of the Périgord Blanc region. From discovering the pleasures of paddling on calm waters to high-level competitions, the club offers a variety of activities ranging from slalom and river descents to sprint racing. Through a qualified technical team, the club also encourages the exploration of other complementary sports, thus enriching the experience of its members.

Club History

Founded in 1958 under the name of the Groupe Nautique du Périgord (GNP) by Adolphe Tesnière, the club quickly proved itself on the national and international scene.

In 1985, following a merger with the Association Loisirs Périgord (ALP), the club became ALP GNP, thus expanding its range of activities. Since then, its commitment to canoeing and kayaking has continued to grow, demonstrating its unwavering attachment to this sport and to the Périgord region.

Evolution and Dynamism

Over the decades, the club has evolved and adapted to new trends in the sport. In 2010, it took a decisive turn by focusing on two new disciplines: river descent and sprint racing. This transition allowed it to consolidate its position among the top-performing clubs in France, with remarkable results both nationally and internationally.
