Welcome of the participants by the rafting guides, then delivery of the equipment and briefing for a descent of the Verdon in raft, to our beach of the Pinède (approximately 8 km and 1h30 of navigation).
The first part is easy; it allows a gentle initiation into the handling of the raft. Then we cross rapids of increasing difficulty with, as a final, the famous Barre St. Jean (class III rapid: medium difficulty) (see the classification of rapids), the climax of this descent.
