About Discovery climbing session in the Calanques near Marseille.
Jeff was an amazing guide. He really checked up on my skill level let me climb according to my level. I always felt safe and managed to onsight 7 different routes in one day. Which literally never happened to me before during lead climbing. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to get great guiding in the Marseille region.

About Descent of the canyon adventure level 2, Pyrénées-Orientales.
Very nice instructor, very clear about what to do and what not to do. He wasn't the most forgiving in people's behavior, though
