Unknown flood risk
This Ardeche granite descent, fifteen rappels over 1600 meters with 140 meters of drop, historically ran June through August. It has been closed to canyoning since 2012.
Turzon has been closed to canyoning since January 2012, when several of the private landowners whose property the river crosses banned descents. This is a landowner closure, not a government or prefectural one, per French Wikipedia; treat any older trip report or guidebook listing this canyon as open as out of date.
