I have a canoe rental where your help is needed in Mountainous are near Verdon Canyon
It's a perfect place for nature lovers and explorers because of the mountainous, verdon lakes, lavanda field... Number of birds and other species can be seen live.You will wake up because of them - Not with an alarm. Unharmed fresh air will give you perfect start for the day.
You are completely free to do the asks whenever possible time for you.Minimum stay will be more than 4 weeks and longer in the high season ( 2 month or more).
Come here with a car, a motorbike or a scooter will help you to reach all the areas around Esparron and feel free to do everything you want to do :) It is a wild area we can borrow bikes if you don't have a car ;)
One more thing .
Please use GPS, and given bus route to visit us.
