There are many reasons for choosing Water Sports in France
The French Pyrenees are of course located in France, but you will be in close proximity to Andorra and Spain as well. Getting there is a breeze, particularly via Perpignan, but it also lends itself to longer, more ambitious adventures throughout the region for an ultimate canyoning excursion or an all-encompassing outdoor adventure. Conquer Aneto or visit the storied paths through the range and Andorra to round out your abseiling and canyoning trip.

The rail system that connects European cities and country also runs through Toulouse for a scenic transportation option.

More info about Water Sports in French Pyrenees:
The French Pyrenees are the northern peaks associated with the mountain range on the border of France, Spain, and Andorra. The rugged terrain and geology of the mountain, combing with the network of rivers flowing around them, have led to a substantial collection of exciting gorges. These canyons connect streams with pools all the way into the French countryside. The most notable areas for canyoning are found outside of Perpignan, which is a train stop heading to and from Barcelona from French cities like Toulouse, Montpellier, and Narbonne. Many gorges offer varied jumps and climbs, which means you can test your canyoning mettle with a mix of abseiling, sliding, and swimming
