Colmars, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
Gorges de Saint Pierre is a 7 rappel, 260m descent near Colmars that nobody can legally run: it is named on Alpes-de-Haute-Provence's list of canyons closed outright.
Prohibited year round under prefectural decree n96-1399 (3 July 1996), listed by name as 'St Pierre / Colmars.' Descente Canyon's regulation tracker still shows this article active, translated: prohibited all year for canyon descent practice. The technical stats on file (v4 a2, commitment IV, longest rappel 35m) describe a canyon that is not currently open to run, not a recommendation.
