The idea of this stay is to discover Lozère and more specifically its canyons and a cave. A mystical and wild territory, made up of high plateaus cut by deep gorges, the notion of wild space takes on its full meaning here.
This internship takes place in the Cévennes National Park, home to a mosaic of landscapes: moors, gorges, terraces, greenhouses… With a unique built heritage: cobblestones, bridges, slate houses, clède… Many legends were born here, such as the Beast of Gévaudan or that of the Camisards.
Japanese print atmosphere, translucent blue water basins where beech leaves levitate, the schist sculpted and polished by the water lit by the sun which filters through the beech grove.
In this canyon there are no major obstacles, but swimming and jumping in a dreamlike landscape.
The southernmost canyon of our adventure. An immersion in nature along the water, we will go from the beech forest to the pine forest, crossing surprising and varied geologies.
A complete program with jumps, beautiful abseils and slides. A very pretty finale in the middle of cedars and granite blocks.
Here it is Canada, in the middle of fir trees and granite towers, the terminal has dug beautiful emerald green pools. A beautiful atmosphere where we sometimes imagine ourselves as Davy Crockett, sometimes as a pirate.
This canyon is punctuated by numerous jumps and walks. Here the waters are fresh and invigorating.
An unusual and mythical canyon, to descend into the gorge we will take old calades (stone paths) among the chestnut trees.
The descent of the Chassezac is punctuated by a diversity of obstacles: slides, mailboxes, abseiling under waterfalls, opposing passages, jumps and flushing water... It takes around 6 hours to complete the entire course.
The Chassezac is an open but deep canyon, from the bottom of the gorge to the plateau there is a 300 m drop.
Above the canyon we will be watched over by the fortified village of La Garde de Guérin, a former stronghold of the Chevaliers Pariers.
We will go to the Champclos cave. We will go down to the foot of the Cévennes to explore the Ardèche limestone. Champclos is a very beautiful cavity which allows a varied route with meanders, wells, small underground rivers and above all very beautiful rooms, including the Mont Blanc room.
