The Verdon, usually so lively this season, is flowing in slow motion today. And it’s everyone in aquatic activities who is preparing for a very difficult season. Rafting, for example, will not be possible in the Gorges this summer. This represents half of the turnover of Stéphane Brouté, general manager of adventure sports Feel Rafting. “I couldn’t get the guides I wanted, because I knew I wouldn’t have a job for them. If I do that, I’m shooting myself in the foot, so I don’t have the choice. Last year, I had twelve employees, this year, we will be five. I will have to reduce”, he breathes. Stéphane will still offer activities, such as water hikes, but in limited numbers.
