DESCRIPTION

The interest of this outing is to discover and contemplate a wild natural environment far from civilisation by taking time out for a day. This session is for those who like hiking. The canyon is a round trip, 45′ of approach walking on the way out, 45′ on the way back. And in the same way, you go down the canyon, then up again. This pretty walk in the meadows of the Estéron plain is a bit long but your efforts will be rewarded by the discovery of the little paradise of the Clue des Mujouls. This canyon is in itself quite flat with few waterfalls and therefore few jumps and abseils. But it is an aquatic course with lots of water. And the Clue des Mujouls like its neighbour the Clue d’Aiglun is quite impressive and monumental. The Estéron has carved out a beautiful recess here with cliffs overhanging by a hundred metres. In some places, resurgences form magnificent tuff waterfalls covered with moss. In these plant walls, the water flows drop by drop… The pleasure is divine for the eyes !

Meeting point

The meeting place is in the village of Gars 06850, at the Estéron car park. Take the Chemin de l’Estéron and park in the car park at the top left before the road is closed to traffic.
