Toulourenc Gorge River Walk
Highlight • Gorge
Unfortunately, this has not been an insider tip for a long time, so it can get very crowded in summer. Early in the morning, however, you are pretty much alone even in the high season.
ATTENTION: In bad weather conditions, the tour can be life-threatening due to the rapidly rising water level. Be sure to observe the warnings on the bridge over the river!

Bring plenty of water. And hiking poles aren't superfluous. I'd even say essential.
In any case, the gorges are magnificent. It's worth it!
Be careful on the way back...🤪

It is a good idea to go up early on the gr91 and go down through the gorges. We went up in the shade and once our feet in the water we were able to enjoy, on the first half, clear water and without the crowds who go upstream a little later. CAUTION, do not work with children …
