INTRODUCTION

From 5th to 10th June, Treignac and the Vézère river will welcome the 2019 ICF Wildwater Canoeing World Cup.

It will be an opportunity for the general public to (re)discover this spectacular site and to come back there 60 years after the first ICF Wildwater Canoeing World Championships in 1959. What a celebration for such an anniversary!

The city of Treignac has already proved its capacity to host events: each year one national event (competition or leasure) takes place on the Pentecost weekend.

Feel free to join us to share together strong emotions and nice sensations through exciting adventure!

The Organising Committee

WORDS OF PRESIDENTS

For many years, the French Canoe Federation gained a lot of skills in hosting international events of great quality. The history began here in 1959 with the first World Championships of the discipline. Then, it never ends to confirm the trust the international governing bodies of canoeing put in the Treignac Organising Committee and in the French Canoe Federation.

This event is the first of a cycle, going to the 2022 ICF Wildwater Canoeing World Championships.

It is with the same enthusiasm and the same passion that French Canoe Federation and Treignac will work together in order to lead a new exciting project.

We hope to see you in Treignac along the river!

Jean ZOUNGRANA, French Canoe Federation

Gérard COIGNAC, Mayor of Treignac
