The Gorges du Toulourenc : this aquatic hike is the perfect getaway near Marseille
Are you in the mood for a family outing in the great outdoors not far from Marseille? The Gorges du Toulourenc are the ideal place for a family water excursion in Provence. Free of charge and accessible to children, this walk in the shade with your feet in the water is the perfect way to cool off on a hot day.
This incredible landscape at the foot of Mont Ventoux is a natural wonder worth preserving. It was the river that carved out the limestone to form the beautiful Gorges du Toulourenc. But this Natura 2000 site is becoming increasingly popular and must be protected. You will find recommendations on the Parc naturel régional du Mont-Ventoux.
Ideal between April and September, this aquatic hike lasts about 2 hours. On foot, you can follow the river in one direction on the outward journey and in the other direction on the return journey. Don’t forget to bring Top Balcony, sunglasses and suitable footwear for this kind of toe-in-the-water hike. We love nature, and we want to preserve it! Don’t forget to take all your garbage with you!
