About

Experience this spot in La Roque-d'Anthéron. Great location for swimming and paddling, boating, kayaking, canoeing and supping. La Roque-d'Anthéron is a commune located in the Bouches-du-Rhone department, in the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, in the south-east of France. The area is known for its beautiful natural scenery, with rolling hills, olive groves, vineyards, and fields of lavender. The town itself is situated on the banks of the Durance River, and is home to several historic buildings and landmarks, including the 12th-century Saint-Sauveur church and the Château de Florans, a former 18th-century palace that now serves as a cultural center. Surrounding La Roque-d'Anthéron are several picturesque villages and towns, such as Lourmarin, Cadenet, and Rognes, which are dotted with traditional stone houses and narrow winding streets. The area is also known for its festivals and cultural events, with the internationally renowned piano festival held every summer in La Roque-d'Anthéron, attracting musicians and visitors from all over the world.

  • Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
  • Watch for submerged obstacles like branches, weirs, and rocks

Conditions change fast. Always check the latest data, read recent community reports, and swim within your ability.
