Join Belgian instructor Christophe and sail along the Calanques, a rocky coast from Marseille to Cassis. A 5-day trip to improve your rock climbing skills.
5 Days
May, Jun, Sep, Oct
Intermediate
Beginner
An amazing and unique 5-day course to explore one of the most beautiful climbing sites in Europe: the Calanques massif. Behind the Marseilleveyre mount these small, narrow, elongated bays lie. They are surrounded by stony peaks and turquoise blue waters.
The Calanques cover the rocky coast from Marseille to Cassis and it is usually considered “a playground” for all levels of climbers. This time I want to invite you to sail the waters and find wild rock walls, according to your level. The catamaran will allow us to enjoy the idyllic atmosphere of the site and explore the most remote sides of the creeks!
This 5-day program in the Calanques will be designed depending on the experience and expectations of participants. From beginners to experts I can offer a custom trip and make you improve or learn the most important safety and progression techniques. In addition, we’ll also practice:
– Lead climbing,
– Rope climbing,
– Relaying,
– Abseiling,
– Rescue and self rescue techniques,
– Sport, long and multi-pitch route climbing with overhead crossings over the sea.
As for the requirements, all participants must prove a regular rock climbing practice and elementary experience on the cliffs.
Now, send me a request to book your trip. I’ll be waiting for you and the Calanques will too!

Jerald
It was our first time outdoor bouldering and Ivan was extremely friendly and prioritized safety. He also helped guide us through the different routes and outdoor bouldering techniques.
Joshua
My teenage son and I spent two afternoons in April bouldering with our guide, Leo, in Fontainebleau. Leo was an excellent guide and teacher. He selected boulders that were both challenging and within our skill level. Leo also share fun information about the area we were bouldering in and gave helpful information to make sure we got to the right place at the right time. We highly recommend Leo and would gladly do another bouldering excursion with him.
Claudia
I was in Paris for a few days and really wanted to try bouldering at Fontainebleau, but since it was my first time and I didn’t have any friends to go with, I wasn’t sure how to make it happen. A quick Google search led me to Explore Share, and even before I booked anything, they were super responsive and helpful with all my questions. On the day itself, my guide Ivan was amazing—he helped me read the routes, build trust in the footholds, figure out the beta, and even showed me how to downclimb safely. Overall, a fantastic experience and I’m so glad I went for it!
Robbie
Leo was great! He was very knowledgeable about Fontainebleau climbing and history. We only had a half day in the area and were able to cram in way more climbing because of his knowledge and expertise. Highly recommended!
