Following the uplift of the Lure mountain, it was the Calavon river that shaped these magnificent gorges. The word Calavon means stone river. The watercourse is indeed often dry, leaving only a river of stones.

The route marking of T1 is wildly misleading (!) The paths up and down the Gorge are a mix between T1, T2, T3 and sometimes just about T4. That's in fine weather. Take care of each other and help the others. There were quite a number of small kids of age 3 to 8 today
