Minutes west of the city is a marvellous river canyon cut by the Fier River.

Even in the French Alps, which are famous for their natural wonders, the gorge is a must-visit.

That’s down to how accessible it is: There’s a series of walkway suspended 25 metres above the river letting you marvel at the odd shapes create by many years of erosion.

In places the gorge is so narrow that the cliffs almost meet overhead, and you’ll be able to touch the rock face on the other side.

There’s also a free path delivering you to a natural pool where people come to sunbathe and swim in the summer.
