The Authie River, flowing through the Hauts-de-France region in northern France, is a relatively calm and scenic waterway. Originating in Pas-de-Calais, the Authie passes through rural landscapes, forested areas, and small villages, making it an attractive spot for nature enthusiasts. The river’s water temperature typically ranges from 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F) in the warmer months, providing a refreshing atmosphere, although it's usually a bit too cool for swimming.
Although the Authie is picturesque and ideal for scenic walks and fishing, it lacks designated swimming areas, and its shallower parts often do not support full immersion. However, visitors can enjoy kayaking and fishing along the riverbanks, where the current is gentle, and the views are calming. Many prefer to visit the river for its natural beauty, rather than swimming, as local authorities encourage other recreational activities for a safe experience along this tranquil river.
