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. When you are at the junction between the D15 Route du Col Saint-Roch and the dead end road up to L’Engarvin, the meeting point is 700m further up the D15 at the bridge over the Paillon de Contes. There are various parking areas.
