Clue de Saint-Auban
The sightseeing road running along the left bank above the waters of the gorge gives you a perfect view of the canyoning route before you take on the abundant waters of the Estéron.
But canyoners should not be distracted by nearby civilization and any spectators on the road above them, as they will need to remain focused so to not be lulled by this deceptively reassuring environment. Note that this descent is only possible when the water level is low, as many passages present flow-related risks. This means it is essential to remain alert, and any apparent movement of water on the surface should be met with the greatest caution so as to avoid unfortunate accidents.
