English

LESGECKOS runs canyoning trips through the Gorges du Loup, about 30 minutes inland from Nice, led by state-certified instructors (moniteurs diplômés d'État). Canyoning here means descending a river gorge on foot, involving rock jumps, natural water slides, and rappelling down waterfalls, so a state certification is a meaningful safety credential rather than a formality, given the activity's real physical risk if poorly guided.

Routes are offered for a range of levels, suiting families with children, groups of friends, or a stag or hen party looking for something more active than a standard tour. A private base with free client parking is available at the start point in Courmes. A review specifically confirms guides explain the routes clearly in both French and English, useful given how much a canyoning trip depends on following safety instructions precisely at each obstacle. For English-speaking visitors wanting an adventure activity inland from the coast, that language clarity is a real safety consideration, not just a convenience.
