Access: machine translated ➜

From Langevin on the south coast road we drive in the direction of Grand Galet and park our car in the large parking area before the steep climb (see Google sketch in photos). A further drive or shuttle makes little sense, because the road up is narrow and at the top no problem parking is possible.

Approach (45 min): machine translated ➜

So we go up the road, look at the semicircle of the big waterfall and come up to the village. Here we follow the road south for about 250m and then turn right onto a dirt road that takes us to Rivière Langevin.

See video & photos!

Return (5 min): machine translated ➜

After the large basin under the waterfall we can get out, but also continue to walk to the car and beyond.

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Grand galet Start is dry, but the water arrives at the C85. The aquatic part after the high waterfall is very fun and you can jump basically every obstacle. All in all, a little bit too short.

Currently good water at the big waterfall. Stands tip top. After the big waterfall, make sure to finish the gorge, there are great jumps in blue water up to 11 meters. Unfortunately much too short. Can be shuttled.
