What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise the breathtaking natural beauty of Gorges du Trient, highlighting the dramatic cliffs and vibrant turquoise waters. While the experience is short, many find it impactful and a worthwhile stop. Some guests feel the entry price is a bit high for the duration, and note the limited educational signage.
"As with other reviews, the price is a little steep, there’s no real educational signage and the walkways are getting quite worn.
But was a good stop off and if the price was a little more reasonable it would be 5*."
Clive Brennan
"It is a lovely quick trip. You pay for access at the florist. The wooden walkways let you see how the water has carved through the rocks and the netting above your head gives you peace of mind.
The walkways are well maintained but can get quite narrow in places. It can also get a little cold near the water so bring a jacket."
Stephanie Cheng
"Beautiful place but short visit, specially taking into acount the price. If you're lucky, you might find some coupons in magazines."
