In the event of inclement weather (thunderstorms, strong winds, etc.), we may have to suspend rental for safety reasons. Our priority is the safety of our visitors, and the wind is sometimes more notorious in the canyon than on the beach. On days when the mistral wind is blowing, the return trip to the base on the lake takes longer, requiring an extra effort to keep to your rental time.
Our base is located at Pont du Galetas, at the entrance to the Verdon canyon. We have a trailer and a red truck, which make it easy to find us. Directions and a map are available on our contact page. You can also use this link: Google maps.
