Half-day canyoning with Lionel in St-Auban.
A stunning location.
It was my first time, and my first time jumping too (though it wasn’t compulsory).
Lionel really put us completely at ease! A huge plus for his sense of humour and cheerful nature!
We’ll be back :)

A fantastic experience! We went to Le Mas with our four daughters (aged 8 to 14) and had a marvellous afternoon. Eric and Casimir guided us with great enthusiasm and professionalism. They made sure everyone felt at ease, whilst offering a challenge suitable for all ages.
The setting is magnificent and makes the experience even more special. Throughout the route, Eric spoke passionately about the region and canyoning, which made this activity a sporting, fun and exciting experience all at once.
The team gave us plenty of information about the different options before we set off. They eventually persuaded us to choose Le Mas, and it really was the right choice!
Once again, a big thank you for this incredible experience. I highly recommend it to families looking to share a unique and memorable adventure together!

Our best memory of the Verdon!
We did the Saint-Alban canyon with Lionel and his team; we were really lucky to have come across them – there was a great group atmosphere and a very varied route with some stunning scenery. Everything was done in a friendly and good-humoured way, and we even got to have a few photos taken :)
We were torn between several canyons in the area, but after discussing it with Lionel, it turned out to be THE right choice!
Thanks again for everything – we’ll be back!!

We enjoyed two extraordinary days of canyoning with Eric (the owner). We were a group of three adults and two children aged seven.
On the first day, we had the chance to go on a children’s canyoning trip with Eric. Our two boys loved their magical experience so much that we went back the next day for a more challenging route.
Honestly, I strongly encourage you to get in touch with Eric. With over 20 years’ experience, he ensures that the day is both unforgettable and memorable.
Thank you, Eric,
Joshua & Jess and Adil (Vava & Deden).

A brilliant experience! We wanted to introduce our little ones, aged 5 and 8, to canyoning. They loved it (and it was great fun for the parents too!). Éric is a brilliant guide who explains lots about how the canyon was formed and the little creatures we came across along the way. It costs a bit but it’s well worth it! We’d definitely recommend it.

I had an incredible day in Aiglun with Lionel and Fred. We hiked up and then down the canyon over the course of the day – the atmosphere was brilliant all day long! It’s by far the best canyoning experience I’ve ever had. Thanks to everyone!
Can’t wait to come back next year ☺️

Outstanding. Lionel and Fred were brilliant instructors.
I didn’t know what to expect from canyoning in Aiglun (which is stunning), but I knew I was a bit apprehensive.
With them, I wasn’t worried at all.
They put us at ease with their expertise, their humour, their passion and their patience…
Thank you so much – now I can’t wait to come and see you again in the summer of 2027 ☺️

A huge thank you to Eric! You gave us an unforgettable experience for the whole family at the Clue de St Auban 😍. You were so reassuring, even during the moments when I was feeling anxious – which I managed to overcome ❤️. The gorges are magnificent. I’d definitely recommend your professional and passionate team! We’d do it again in a heartbeat :)
We did it!!!!

We were so lucky to have the canyon all to ourselves at the end of summer (2 September 2023), with sunshine and high spirits to boot.
A huge thank you to Lionel – a brilliant, professional and caring guide – who, to us, was our very own "Jean-Pierre" (along with his ‘Charlie’s Angels’: Delphine, Maud, Laetitia, Christelle and
Sandrine).
See you soon.

A trip to the Verdon Gorges made truly special by the guides’ office.
Thank you to Éric for sharing his passion with me and helping me discover this beautiful region.
The guide office is a must-visit; whether you’re a keen Via Ferrata or canyoning enthusiast or simply want to give it a go, don’t hesitate – you’ve come to the right place.

A route suitable for both children and adults. A brilliant guide and a brilliant young guide-in-training too. A wild and magnificent landscape. Every aspect of canyoning was tailored to suit everyone (from a 5-and-a-half-year-old child to adults).
Laughs, good humour and thrills were all part of the day’s programme!
You’re a brilliant bunch!! Can’t wait to go on more trips with you!!

BRILLIANT! Eric is an excellent guide who lives in the area. Safety and teaching are his top priorities. The Mas route is ideal for beginners but also for the most experienced climbers. Abseiling, slides and jumps of 2, 3, 5 and even 10 metres – all optional, so you can skip them if you like – provided plenty of thrills and the chance to push yourself
in a great atmosphere; a top-notch descent!
The canyoning guides’ office is professional!
Thanks again, Eric – all the best 👍
