There are many reasons for choosing Rock Climbing in France
Wherever you choose to climb in France, among its seemingly endless spots, the one constant is its top-quality rock. The Calanques is a limestone massif that stretches across the Mediterranean coast. It is rugged and compact and features a diverse set of surfaces such as cracks, slabs and pinnacles. The Pyrenees provide rough granite boulders that overhang. And Chamonix is home to compact granite and gneiss.
