Hiking
Let yourself be transported beyond a simple trail to discover the geology, flora, fauna and heritage of the magnificent Verdon massif!
The Gorges du Verdon offer a wide range of marked and unmarked trails. Whether you're a novice or an experienced hiker, I'll help you discover at your own pace, alone or with friends and family, magnificent trails in the heart of the Gorges (Martel, Imbut, Bastidon...) or around the Verdon villages (Moustiers, Aiguines, La Palud sur Verdon, Rougon, Chasteuil, Quinson, Saint Jurs, Trévans etc) and around Lac de Sainte Croix.

Discovery around Moustiers, Verdon
Originally from the Paris region, my love of nature and the mountains led me to settle in the heart of the Vanoise massif for 15 years, where I did my first long-distance hikes as well as paragliding and mountaineering.
This unconditional love of nature enabled me to pass my Brevet d'Etat d'Accompagnateur en Montagne in 2005, after my Brevet d'Etat de Parapente in 2004.
I moved to the Verdon Massif in 2005 to practice this wonderful profession, which is more of a passion.
