Useful to know:
What’s the best time to choose? Morning, middle of the day, afternoon?
• A morning outing gives you the best sunlight on the red Rocher, so is a great time for photos. Also a good time for spotting wildlife (heron, kingfishers….)
• A late morning start means you can take a picnic to the lake and make the most of the sun (perfect of swimming and sunbathing)
• In the early afternoon the onshore seas breezes arrive, and this cools down the atmosphere a bit
• The end of the afternoon between 4pm and 7pm is also a great time, when the sunlight is a less strong and the reflections are magical – a bit cooler and fewer canoeists on the river.
About the flora and fauna
• The best time to see the European Bee-eater birds is April to July
• Turtles and terrapins can often be seen warming themselves in the sun.
About the route :
• For those feeling more sporty, you can paddle a bit further upriver beyond the lake, where you’ll find some lovely pebble beaches and super little swimming spots. Here, it is a bit quieter.
Highlights:
• Navigate safely onboard one of our canoes in the heart of the Côte d’Azur
• Discover the nature reserve Natura 2000 just at the foot of the famous red Rocher de Roquebrune
• Route perfect for families
• Autonomy and freedom (no guide or shuttle bus necessary)
