Kayaking and water sports in the Luberon
Between its hilltop villages, lavender fields, and limestone hills, the Luberon also offers numerous water sports.
Just a few kilometers from the iconic sites of Gordes, Roussillon, and Lourmarin, the region's rivers and lakes are perfect for cooling off.
Whether you're with family or friends, kayaking in the Luberon is a must-do activity for discovering the region's flora and fauna.
The Luberon offers several routes suitable for canoeing and kayaking.
During the summer, it's a very popular activity for escaping the heat and enjoying the cool waterways.
Paddling down the Sorgue or Durance rivers is among the most popular thanks to their clear waters and gentle currents.
Around Apt, Fontaine-sur-Vaucluse, and Cavaillon, several water sports centers offer kayak, canoe, and paddleboard rentals for a few hours or a full day.
Several routes are available, guided or self-guided, depending on your skill level.
Some excursions even include swimming breaks or gourmet stops to sample local products.
Whether you're in a group of two, three, or four, all you have to do is put on your life jacket and start paddling.
Beyond kayaking, you can also try stand-up paddleboarding on the region's lakes and rivers.
This increasingly popular activity allows you to enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace.
For thrill-seekers, some water sports centers also organize rafting trips or introductory sessions to paddling techniques.
The Hôtel du Parc in Cavaillon is the perfect starting point for exploring the region's rivers, villages, and natural landscapes.
