Le 20 mai 2023
Découverte de ces gorges classiques s’il en est, surpeuplées l’été, mais à la fréquentation encore raisonnable en ce pont du mois de mai – sans doute grâce aux prévisions météo mitigées. La descente en kayak à fond plat – bienvenu vu le faible niveau d’eau et les rochers affleurants dans les nombreux rapides – se fera entre Chames et Sauze, soit 24 km de parcours dans une large gorge creusée entre les falaises de calcaire de la réserve naturelle, les truites sous les pagaies, randonneurs sur les rives et grimpeurs sur les parois. Un itinéraire classique sous des falaises creusées d’innombrables baumes souvent concrétionnées, et semble-t-il mondialement connu comme en témoignent les nombreux touristes étrangers croisés, de l’Asie de l’est à l’Amérique du Nord, mais à mon sens pas sensiblement plus beau que les gorges du Gardon, descendues 2 ans plus tôt et infiniment moins fréquentées.
Quoi qu’il en soit, encore une belle journée, sous le soleil parfois voilé pour la première moitié plus intéressante que la seconde, et un pari météo réussi en ce mois de mai instable qui n’aura pas permis la moindre sortie en ski malgré le bon enneigement en haute montagne !
