chris Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hi. Does anyone have any recommendations of lakeside camping/aires in France where we can easily use our canoe. We are not competetive just for leisure trips and bit of sightseeing and exercise of course. We have been to lac du laouzas and you are right on waters edge there which is great. We would like to leave the canoe out on pitch too. Any suggestions greatly received. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witzend Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hi Chris not into canoeing but what seems a great place to me is the lake at the bottom of the Verdon Gorge there's campsites either side of the mouth of the gorge I've seen a lot of canoes in the gorge looks to me a great place (not white water lol) around 43.800836 6.248078 This site may help http://www.camping-municipal.org/ http://www.campinglesruisses.fr/en/municipal-campsite-les-ruisses-les-salles-sur-verdon-home/ this is one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes could be tricky! Also some of the rivers appear to be quite shallow (inches) in places.

globebuster Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Search the forum for - Barryd999 He's put some really useful stuff on for boaters in the past [downloadable] We find the 'Wild swimming in France' book really useful for finding good Kayaking locations. The Brantome circuit is good fun, a bit like 'Deliverance' for lightweights.......and believe me, we are not serious 'yakers as ours is only an inflatable Sevylor Colorado 2. Great bit of kit though. There are loads of Aires with easy access to rivers and lakes, although I'm slightly reluctant to divulge my two favourites on the forum for fear of overcrowding! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
