DESCRIPTION
The Ruisseau de Planfaé is the most accessible day trip canyon. The walk starts with a short walk in the river, followed very quickly by a few small jumps in pools of clear water. Then comes the highlight in a beautiful recess where a 7m waterfall pours into a kettle decorated with a superb natural arch. Then follows the highest waterfall of 12m which is abseiled down. The rest is a succession of abseils, jumps and slides which will not fail to satisfy the greediest.
Meeting point
The meeting place is located near the village of L’Engarvin 06670 Duranus.
