The Kings Course from Martinet to Lauzet offers 1.5 hours of non-stop rapids. The most intrepid paddlers can tackle the rapids that were previously thought to be un-navigable, known to the locals as the Ex-infranchissables in the Fresqui\u00e8re to Martinet bridge section.

You can raft through unspoilt scenery down a succession of rapids for more than 50 km. The river is graded from class 2 to 5, so there&#8217;s something for everyone from first timers to thrill-seeking river maggots. The Kings Course from Martinet to Lauzet offers 1.5 hours of non-stop rapids. The most intrepid paddlers can tackle the rapids that were previously thought to be un-navigable, known to the locals as the Ex-infranchissables in the Fresqui\u00e8re to Martinet bridge section. If you&#8217;ve got the boules, this is one to tick off your rafting in France list.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/rafting-southern-french-alps.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/rafting-southern-french-alps-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Rafting in the Southern French Alps\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/rafting-southern-french-alps-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/rafting-southern-french-alps-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/rafting-southern-french-alps-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Rafting &#038; Kayaking the Durance<\/h3>\n<p>The Durance runs from Saint Cl\u00e9ment to Serre-Pon\u00e7on Lake and is graded class 2 to 3, so it&#8217;s a bit more progressive than the Ubaye.

If you already have some rafting experience, you may want to paddle this section yourself in a canoe-raft, a super boyant inflatable canoe. However you choose to descend, you&#8217;re sure to have great fun in the Rabioux waves.
