The Vis River, flowing through the Gard and Hérault departments in southern France, is known for its crystal-clear waters and beautiful limestone gorges. Originating in the Cévennes mountains, this river is popular for swimming, especially in the summer months. However, even in warm seasons, the water temperature remains relatively cool, ranging from 15-18°C (59-64°F) due to the river’s mountainous origins and shaded sections. This refreshing coolness is appreciated by visitors looking to escape the summer heat.

Some of the most popular swimming spots along the Vis include the areas near Saint-Laurent-le-Minier, where natural pools and waterfalls create idyllic settings. The Cascade de la Vis, a stunning waterfall, is a highlight, with clear pools ideal for a dip. While swimming is generally safe, it’s essential to note that currents can be stronger in spring or after heavy rainfall. Swimmers should also be cautious around rocks, as the riverbed can be uneven and slippery in certain areas.
