T.E.O. Club Pirogue is a water-sports club based at La Rochelle Nautique in the Port des Minimes, La Rochelle, France. It invites visitors and members to explore the coastline and nearby natural areas by collective outrigger canoe, with activities adapted to weather conditions and open to participants aged 11 and over. The canoes are designed to be accessible, including for people with reduced mobility, and are self-draining, unsinkable and configurable as a catamaran for added stability.

People can book a one-off, 90-minute introductory outing with guidance from an experienced paddler, or choose quarterly and annual memberships that include unlimited bookings for the club’s scheduled navigations. Members also receive discounts on club-organised trips around Île de Ré and Île d’Aix. T.E.O. offers youth discovery courses lasting from one day to a week, multi-day adventure raids, and themed outings focused on wellbeing, fitness or team cohesion. The club also highlights its efforts to improve canoe design and construction, considering their full life cycle and recyclability.
