Summary: What a gorgeous and fun day! The drive from Aix to Castellane was almost beautiful enough—but then the rafting trip was even better! Gorgeous water, limestone cliffs, a wonderful guide, a few rapids, some minor cliff jumping—a wonderful day!!! My 12 year old and I loved it! Wear a swim suit and sneakers that you don’t mind swimming in. They provide a wetsuit and life jacket.
