La Chalvagne

This shady, emerald-hued river rises in the Val de Chalvagne valley at an altitude of 1,250 m. Numerous pools have formed among the boulders, ideal nooks and crannies for trout. The water is a little cool; perfect after a sunny day, why not try spoon-lure fishing in the evening?

Access the river from the village of Entrevaux at the confluence with the Var.

The Lance

This mountain river has a good flow thanks to its magnificent waterfall located a few metres upstream. Its fairly wide riverbed makes it ideal for both coarse fishing and fly fishing.
Access is from the motorhome parking area. You can walk upstream along the river almost all the way to the waterfall and return via the marked trail in a 20-minute walk.
