River swimming

The joy of swimming in the river is an unparalleled experience. Immersing yourself in the clear, refreshing waters, feeling the gentle swirls caressing the skin, brings a feeling of lightness and freedom.

The rivers offer an idyllic natural setting where you can recharge your batteries, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life. By bathing in the river, we connect with nature, in harmony with the gentle murmur of the water and the song of the birds.

It’s an opportunity to create precious memories, whether by letting yourself be carried away by the current or playing in the natural waterfalls. Swimming in the river is an invitation to happiness, relaxation and communion with the surrounding nature.
In Haute Provence, the Bès valley towards Barles is the ideal place to indulge in the pleasures of swimming in the river. You will inevitably find your haven of peace and freshness below the road. Don’t hesitate to park your car and go down to explore the hidden corners of the river… After the break, you must stop by the Clues de Barles, geological wonders dug out by the river.
