Paddle: Where to put your board in the south of France?

We imagine that for paddle enthusiasts you already have your usual little spots, but for novices it is often difficult to know where and when to paddle. We offer you a quick overview of the best spots to practice paddleboarding in the South of France. Focus!

The creeks of Marseille

It’s no secret that between its basilica, its Old Port and its impressive natural environment, Marseille is full of landscapes, each more beautiful than the last. It’s impossible to visit Marseille without taking a trip to the coves, and there’s nothing better than discovering them from the sea, on your paddle. The Calanques are home to wild fauna and flora that are rarely found elsewhere in France. Between wild coves inaccessible on foot and sea caves accessible only by sea, paddle boarding will add a huge bonus to your excursion.

The creeks of Cassis

After discovering the Calanques of Marseille, take just a few steps to arrive at the Calanques of Cassis. They are considered by some to be the jewel of the Mediterranean. Cassis is generally one of the most popular destinations in summer, particularly for its rosé and its dream landscapes. It is therefore interesting to visit them by sea by paddle and thus avoid all the crowds. Let yourself be transported among the numerous marinas along the coasts, as well as the magnificent cliffs. For the more adventurous, we advise you to stay for the sunset, there is nothing better than observing this magnificent spectacle directly from the sea.

Discover Corsica by paddle

Kilometers of coastline as far as the eye can see, azure blue and transparent water, a beautiful sunset, there are many beautiful things to see in Corsica from your paddle. Surrounded by water, the Isle of Beauty offers you an endless playground. Between small coves without the shadow of a tourist and a very rich fauna and flora, you will not fail to have some nice surprises. We also advise you to bring a front-mounted GoPro with you to capture each of your moments.
