Itinerary description

The descent of this canyon, like most Pyrénées Orientales canyons, is forbidden from after the 3rd Sunday of September, until the second Saturday of April.
Canyon rules at https://static.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/reglem/reglem325_pj1.pdf

Part 1, apparently about ten abseils, done off trees, maximum 12 meters..
The tracks shows Parts 2 and 3. Part 2 is mostly aqua-hiking, many of the obstacles can be avoided on the side.
Part 3, from the EDF water intake, is the sporty part. There is a footpath that lets you leave one car at the lower parking and hike up to the water intake.
Maximum rappel 16m, one long toboggan, various smaller obstacles.
