Description
Located in the Caroux massif, the Rec Grand Canyon overlooks the village of Mons-la-Trivalle. The vegetation is changing, with the gradual appearance of chestnut trees at the entrance to the canyon.
To get you in the mood, two magnificent slides follow one another, ending in crystal-clear pools. The contrast between the granite rock and the water is astonishingly beautiful. This is followed by a series of slides and jumps.
Le Rec Grand is the ideal place to satisfy everyone, explorers and contemplators alike. The adventure ends on a bucolic note, with a 30-minute walk in the shade of holm oaks, through the grandeur of the white granite rocks, such as the Mont Caroux gneiss that surrounds the Canyon.
