Belle vidéo avec un jolie petit niveau !

Thank you for sharing!
That brings back so many fond memories!
The Guil was the first river I paddled in the French Alps in 1994.
The river has changed a bit (the "Labyrinth" rapid washed out), but it still looks like you had a blast on it!
I'd hate to come across rafts in the Chateau Queras gorge, though.

Hey, I am glad you liked it. Regarding rafts, it's pretty uncommon to encounter some on the upper part. But yea, I would not like to collide into one in the gorge...

How many portages?

[@fabien_chareyron]

only 1 is mandatory. the siphon/strainer around 5:54. Stop on river left bank 6:15 . You might also want to portage "le millenium" depending on its configuration.

International Whitewater Class III

[@fabien_chareyron]

Yea, on average it could be international class III . But I am pretty sure some parts can be ranked class IV. At water level above 90 cm , i think it would be average class IV.

[@andrischuetz]

For sure in most parts above III...
