Tips if you are going to do Rafting in France
France is well known for its exceptional nature and its varied flora and fauna. It is a country that offers many possibilities for surprising rafting sessions. With over 10,000 kilometres of rivers, surrounded by stunningly beautiful natural sites, there are several good reasons to embark on this adventure of discovery during a rafting session in France. Rafting is a fun-filled sport to be practised with friends and families, in contact with nature. We have summarized here 5 main reasons why you should try a rafting course in France:
1. To have a great time with family or friends
Rafting is a fun and sporting activity that offers thrills. It is the ideal choice for moments of joy with family or friends. Since rafting requires perfect coordination during its practice, it can strengthen cohesion between family members. For instance, if you have a group of 8 people, 4 of them will be seated on either side of the raft, the strongest in the front and the guide, known as the coxswain will be in the back. Everyone will be provided with safety equipment and paddles to move forward in harmony. It suddenly seems simple but gives the idea of organization, respect for hierarchy and group dynamics. At the same time, the laughter and joy that you experience make the course even more exciting.

2. Rafting is accessible to everyone and appeals to everyone
This sport requires you to know how to swim. The minimum age to be a part of the activity is generally 8 years old. All must have an adult as an accompanying person. Depending on the difficulty level, some activity centres insist on having an adult accompany kids up to 16 years old. This is done because the rivers are grouped by class, going from I to VI, with different obstacles, height differences and rapids. In any case, you will always have an instructor at your disposal. You have assured a safe and adrenaline-filled experience.

When would you like to book your rafting session?
In France, the best period is from April to the beginning of November. In the spring, the melting ice activates the rapids and makes the experience even more enjoyable. In autumn, the rains feed the bed of the rivers, the flows intensify.
