Petit Tour du Teche
Competitive paddling for younger enthusiasts
Parc des Ponts 314 East Bridge, Breaux Bridge, Louisiana 70517
If you have a young, budding paddler between the ages of five and seventeen, Tour du Teche's annual Petit Tour du Teche might fan the flames of a new hobby (as well as a passion for conservation). The event offers a variety of short races, from 250 yards to one mile—manageable distances for little arms. The longer races are done in legs, so that all of the action takes place at Parc des Ponts de Pont Breaux, where family and friends can watch. 7 am (with first race starting at 9 am) at 251 East Bridge Avenue. $10 registration includes lunch.
