We visited for 1 day in August 2020, and even in the height of summer with many other tourists, this was still an incredible experience. We arrived at La Base Nautique de l'Etoile which is the closest pedalo/kayak rental to the Gorge opening (on the left bank when looking at the Gorge) at 8:45am and joined the already formed queue of people (opens at 9am). We rented a pedalo for 40Euros for 2 hours - this allowed us to pedal as far as the Gorges allows (in terms of signposts, not in terms of ability) and enjoy some swimming while docked at the side before heading back. We could have used more time to relax and just enjoy. Arriving that early in the morning affords you some quieter time in the Gorge, even in summer, before it gets really filled up with boats/people. Due to our next stop, we ended up driving the D952 to Castellane by total chance which turned out to be one of our TOP drives of all time - just stunning and highly recommended.

This is a wonderful river walk that winds its way up along flat planes and through mountain gorges. You are walking IN the stream so bring water shoes or hiking sandals and while most of it is only ankle or calf deep, there are some places (near the gorges) where it gets waist deep. You can park in 2 places. In the main parking area you walk down to the bridge and enter the river there, in the other parking lot, you have to walk up the river a little ways to get to the bridge. To get to the gorges and deeper parts of the river you must go upstream from the bridge (where they sell ice cream). You can walk for 10 minutes or for hours, and there are lots of banks on the river where you can get out of the water and sunbathe or have lunch, or just sit and relax. A great afternoon plan for couples or families.
