Water activities: canoeing, canyoning and paddleboarding
Let yourself be carried by the calm and refreshing waters near Domaine Villa Verde during canoe or kayak outings on Lake Roquebrune. Glide gently along rivers and lakes, discover secret spots and admire the beauty of the surrounding nature.
Lake Roquebrune is particularly a popular destination for families and thrill seekers: its calm waters are perfect for both a peaceful outing in a canoe or on a paddleboard and a more athletic canyoning session in the surrounding gorges. Allow about thirty minutes drive from the campsite to enjoy a full day of swimming, gliding and relaxing by the water.
During the summer season, the lake transforms into a true floating water park: the Arena water sports center sets up more than 250 inflatable structures over 3,000 m², with XXL slides and courses for all levels, as well as an area for younger children. A great way to extend the swimming fun with an afternoon of games and thrills, between canoe or paddleboard sessions.
