South Alps
From KayakWiki
Places : Europe : South Alps (French & Italian)
The Alpine mountains of France and Italy create some of the finest Whitewater in the world. Not only that, but the beer is always cheap, and sun is always shining (except for the odd thunderstorm) so it makes for a glorious holiday destination even off the water.
See France (non-alpine), for details of other rivers/sea kayaking to be found in France.
