Red Original's Best Gifts For Open Water Swimmers 2024
Struggling to pick out a gift for an outdoor swimming fan? You’re in luck! Here are some of the best gifts for open water swimmers this year.
Discover SUP near Paris on La Marne
Written by Michelle Meredith /
We are lucky to be in a region of lakes and rivers so close to Paris. Upstream from Paris, the Marne river flows further into the Seine and offers a natural SUP area.
A natural river that takes you on a historic journey, from passing the chocolate factory Menier which is listed in the inventory of historical monuments, to a small path between the trees on the lake of Vaires - the Olympic site of the future Games of rowing 2024! The largest canoeing site in the world with its incredible artificial whitewater rivers.
