Dramatic white-water rafting is not difficult to find on the French mainland due to the abundance of mountain ranges; the Alps, Pyrenees and Massif Central all offer great rides with great guides in amazing locations.
And if rafting has become a tedious form of done-that travel, why not try:
White-water swimming, also known as hydrospeed, with a sort of bodyboard, helmet, jacket, gloves, wetsuit and flippers?
Or Canorafting, a two-person inflatable boat/canoe, also with full protective gear like the hydrospeed?
Or Air-boating, like canorafting only it's a one-person inflatable craft which you sit on, rather than in? The same protective gear as usual.
Or Water Rambling, dispense with all the boat business and just float away in your high buoyancy jacket and wetsuit, occasionally walking across bits inaccessible to those on boats.
