Super témoignages. Que de souvenirs... c'était vraiment chouette. Ca l'est toujours d'ailleurs. Merci 🙏

Went there in the 1980s on my first road trip with my own car with my school friends.

We were only climbing 5c. But it was intimidating. A holiday I’ll never forget.

We went north to south (from the UK). Saussois, Buis le Barronies, Buoux, Mont Sainte Victoire, and Verdon as the finale.

"but when there are pitons every meter it's a pity....there is less need to be focused." YES! This. Thank you, Catherine. Loved the Verdon Gorge during my climbing travels in France during the mid-nineties. True adventure and beauty. I'd never experienced any place quite like it. Adventure sport climbing.

Great to see this video. We just came back from the Verdon. We showed our kids where their parents climbed in the mid-nineties/early 2000. Showed them the tunnels, the Belvédères, some of the routes we did, La Palud, pizza Pepino, Lou Cafetie, the campground, we even saw Bernard Gorgeon playing petanque (but we didn't know that at the time, just found out watching the video!). I have great memories climbing in the Verdon, and now I even have some more...

Magnifique vidéo! J'aime particulièrement le contraste entre l'histoire racontée, l'envie de moins équipé et les images de toutes les nouvelles falaises comme la ramirole ou le pantin! Magique =)

Climbed there in the 90s, camping in La Palud, and doing the classics - La Demande, Paroi Rouge, Pichnibule... special place...

[illampu]

we climbed there at the early 80tis. We climbed there so much, -- we loved it so much. Who renember Jean Paul from the Campground? Verdon is the best!!!

[justinjakimiak]

[enricobittelli]

Very watchable! Anyone know the name of the song playing in the opening scene?

The climber alain Robert said "free soloing in verdon is freedom

[sylvainbruni]

super ça retrace bien la magie de ce lieu

[dominicestebanrice]

This film sadly does not do justice to such an iconic climbing mecca; listening to people yammering on about the pros & cons of the different climbing styles that have been in/out of fashion over the past five decades gets tedious after about two minutes. I will say that the cliff panoramas/visuals were fantastic.

[francovaderno]

Qui se souvient le nom du propriétaire du camping à La Palud dans les années 70 ? Aujourd'hui, on peut voir sur Google qu'il ne reste plus qu'un pré. L'homme était très gentil.

Il fallait toujours laisser sa voiture ouverte aux parkings en haut. . Sinon, c'était toujours cassé.
