Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (04)
Gorge de Clapouse
A wild, timeless descent. I take you into the former glacial lock of Restefond, in the heart of the Clapouse gorges, a canyon of remarkable beauty: multicoloured rocks, deep gorge, lively water.
Discover
Alpes-Maritimes (06)
Clue de Chaudan
Clue de Chaudan, the perfect canyon. An ideal sequence of jumps, waterslides, rappels and even a hanging pool: everything's there.
Discover
Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (04)
La Lance aval
La Lance, an incredible canyon. Very cold water, but a true jump paradise: huge natural pools follow each other like Olympic swimming pools, in a wild, spectacular setting.
Discover
Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (04)
Enduchet
The Enduchet canyon, a timeless mineral journey. Enduchet is a canyon of its own, wild and scenic, where you progress through a gorge carved by water over centuries.

Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (04)
La Blache
La Blache: a spectacular sport classic. The first part descends the Costeplane waterfalls, paced by the abundant springs. Then the canyon tightens and a marked narrowing appears.
Discover
Alpes-Maritimes (06)
Clue d'Amen
Clue d'Amen, a spectacular immersion in red pelite. From the first steps, the setting imposes itself: intense red rock, sculpted by time, plunging progressively into a narrow, grand gorge.
Discover
Hautes-Alpes (05)
Oules de Freissinières
Oules de Freissinières, a mythical canyon of the Alps. More than a canyon, it's a true expedition in a wild, vertical universe.

Jeremy Chichery, canyoning instructor, year-round mountain enthusiast.
About me
A year-round mountain enthusiast, I practise skiing, ice climbing and rock climbing, with a marked specialisation in canyoning, today my true field of expertise.
Over the years I've travelled many French mountain ranges in search of varied, technical and committing canyons. I've become particularly drawn to high-flow canyons, which require excellent water-reading, anticipation and a perfect mastery of progression and safety techniques.
This deep field experience lets me offer guided trips with a high standard of demand, blending safety, teaching and enjoyment. Every route is picked and adapted based on conditions and your level, to guarantee an experience that is accessible, progressive and memorable.
Whether you're a beginner or looking for more committing thrills, I guide you with rigour and passion so you can discover canyoning in the best possible conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to swim to go canyoning?
Yes, basic comfort in water is required. You don't need to be an Olympic swimmer, but you should be able to float with a gentle current without panicking. Children must be comfortable in water.
From what age can you do canyoning?
The Family trip is accessible from age 8, Discovery from 12, Sport and Exception from 14. I assess each child individually: water comfort, motivation and ability to follow instructions.
What do I need to bring for a canyoning trip?
Sturdy hiking shoes or good closed trainers (no water shoes or sandals), a swimsuit or boxer-style underwear to wear under the wetsuit, and water. The rest (wetsuit, helmet, harness) is provided.
When is the best time for canyoning in the Ubaye?
The season runs from May to September. July-August for families (warmer water), June for sporty types (stronger sensations), September for tranquillity. I tailor each trip to the day's conditions.
How much does a canyoning trip cost?
From €45 per person for the Family trip, €50 for Discovery, €70 for Sport. The Exception trip is on request. Gear and guiding included. Group rates from 6 people.
Is it dangerous? How is safety handled?
Canyoning supervised by a state-certified instructor is a safe activity. I systematically scout canyons before each trip, adapt the route to the day's hydrology, and provide all certified safety gear. Professional liability insurance with MAIF.
