“Les Gorges du Loup is really stunning. Booking our spots was straight forward via WhatsApp. The directions to meet our guide Jeff were simple to follow with a shaded area to park our car. Jeff was great, very knowledgeable and talkative. I had done canyoning before but it was my wife’s first time so there were a few jumps she didn’t do. All in all a great day and memorable experience I highly recommend.”
