Forecast for France

10-day forecast

Do you love sport, adventure and the great outdoors? Boat trips are a unique way to explore France from a different angle. Whether you opt for a motorboat excursion, a sailboat cruise or a leisurely rowboat ride, you'll discover magnificent landscapes and unforgettable sights.

The Calanques of Marseille

A cruise along the Calanques de Marseille is one of the most beautiful experiences you can have in France. These spectacular rock formations plunging into the Mediterranean Sea offer a breathtaking backdrop. You can board an excursion boat at the Vieux-Port and admire these sheer cliffs with their turquoise waters.

The Camargue

In the south of France, the Camargue is a wilderness of marshes, lagoons and sandy expanses. A boat trip to this region will allow you to observe the majestic pink flamingos that populate its salt ponds, as well as the emblematic white horses galloping freely across the plains.

The Gulf of Morbihan

In the north-west of France, the Golfe du Morbihan offers a peaceful setting for a boat trip. With its many islands accessible only by sea, this protected natural site is packed with treasures to discover on a boat tour. You'll be amazed by the diversity of seabirds found in this exceptional wetland.

The Gorges du Verdon

In south-east France, the Gorges du Verdon is one of Europe's largest canyons. A trip down this vertiginous canyon bordered by impressive limestone cliffs is an unforgettable experience. Opt for a kayak tour or hire a small boat to sail through the heart of these grandiose gorges.

The Seine estuary

In the north-west of the country lies the Seine estuary, where river and ocean meet in a fascinating spectacle. A cruise along this estuary will allow you to admire the famous Norman bridges as well as the picturesque villages nestling on its verdant banks.

These are just a few examples of the diversity that France has to offer for your boat trips: between sea and mountains, countryside and town, each region has its own surprises to discover from the water during a cruise or simply a relaxing nautical outing.
