Super moment à partager en famille. Parcours adapté avec un enfant de 8 ans ! À refaire ! Très pro et gentil .Posted on Google Lionel FassiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Franchement le top pour se rafraîchir en plein été ! On a fait la descente du canyon du Loup avec Les Geckos et on a passé un moment incroyable. Les paysages dans les gorges sont magnifiques et l'eau est super claire. Il y a plein de sauts et de toboggans naturels, des descentes en rappel on a fait le plein de sensations fortes tout en se sentant hyper en sécurité. Notre guide était super cool et met direct à l’aise. Si vous cherchez une activité de canyoning sur la Côte d'Azur pas très loin de Nice, foncez, ça vaut trop le coup !
