Southern France and Corsica have been among the most popular destinations for canoeists for decades, as they offer good weather and excellent paddling conditions. In addition to the wild river classics of the Alps and the Pyrenees, such as the Ardèche, Tarn, and Verdon, there are also large scenic rivers like the Dordogne, Durance, and Rhône that invite kayaking or canoeing tours. The DKV Foreign Guide to Southern France/Corsica is the standard reference for canoeing in the region. It follows the proven concept of the waterway guides from the German Canoe Association, which has sold over 300,000 copies: without extensive subjective descriptions, it provides a systematic overview of more than 200 of the most interesting waterways for canoe sports in the region, particularly the watersheds of the Rhône and Gironde.
