Through the story of 50 adventures, this book invites us to explore the lakes, rivers and seas of France.
Whether during a canoe trip over several days or a discovery of wildlife by paddle, the water offers an ideal playground, also with rapids for rafting and waterfalls ideal for diving.

Under the pen of Paul Villecourt, as well as those of other Lonely Planet authors, we are guided to spectacular places such as the gorges of the Allier, the coasts of Belle-Île-en-Mer, and the shores of the Loire. Each story is enriched with practical information: recommended duration, ideal season, local specialties and accommodation.
In addition, for each adventure, three other suggestions are offered, constituting a real reservoir of ideas for discovering France along its rivers.
