Watersports in Provence

Provence is a great place for water sports with its warm summers, lakes, gorges and interesting coastline.

There are plenty of watersports centres where you can learn to sail or enjoy thrilling white water rafting, and everything in between. To find companies offering lessons and equipment hire for watersports, take a look at our Watersports Centres page.

The most popular areas for watersports are along the Gorge du Verdon where you can kayak or canoe at a slow pace, or take on the rapids and white waters for more of a thrill! The region also includes many lakes which are thriving with jet skis, wind surfs, cable wakeboarding and sailing. And of course if scuba diving and splashing around in the sea are more your thing then the French Riviera is right on your doorstop for some fantastic Mediterranean action.
