Water fun in France: from the water park to the river
Water often plays a starring role during your vacation in France. Around Poitiers, you will notice this immediately at Aquascope, where you can enjoy the water to the fullest. If you want that feeling at your holiday home in France, book a villa with a private pool privé zwembad.
If you prefer to head into something more natural on your next vacation, rivers and mountain lakes in the French Alps are close by. In the Dordogne, you can paddle your canoe past rock faces and villages, as described under water sports in the Dordogne Lot. On the other hand, you can opt for a day at a water park, for example, Aquaparc Quercyland. You can choose from a wide selection of water parks in Provence.
On the west coast, you can walk straight onto the beach from the seaside resorts on the Atlantic coast and watch surfers waiting for the next wave. In the region around Poitou-Charentes, you can head to the water for water sports at Les Forges, or choose to paddle peacefully while canoeing.
