South France Rafting holidays river Aude Languedoc Roussillon Axat accommodation
The fast flowing river Aude in Languedoc Roussillon South France is perfect for extreme water sport fans. The adrenalin rush riding the rapids at Axat is tremendous. White water rafting is well instructed. We recommend Rocaqua and Sud Rafting based near Axat with their highly skilled instructors who give a safety and navigation introduction beforehand. Hydrospeed, Canyoning, Canoe and Kayaking are all available.
Canyoning is great fun bodysurfing over falls and narrow gorges. Hydrospeed requires flippers and kickboard. Wetsuits, helmets and equipment are all available.
The natural thermal spring "Le Bain Doux" at Rennes Les Bains is an added attraction for river swimming and bathing. Nearby lakes at Arques and Bugarach are popular for swimming and wind surfing too.
Fishing is permitted along the river Aude and Sals. Permits can be purchased at Axat tabac. The rivers are teeming with Pyrenees trout and salmon.
