What you'll do
Discover Clermont-Ferrand as few people will have done; by the axis of its underground river: the Tiretaine!
We will put feet in the water for 2h to 3h of urban, underground and natural hiking. A world of contrast; the edges of the city, the basement, the silence and the noisy sounds, a wild vegetation in contact with concrete.
Historical and sociological discussion. Photography for amateurs.
Visit the surrounding parks with restored banks. Route along the tunnels.
At any time, possibility of release in less than 10 minutes.
Dry debriefing. And return accompanied to the starting point.
An activity from 2h to 3h. Sporty, exploratory, unpublished. Mandatory boots (or submersible shoes) and headlamp. ; -)
Other things to note
A special urban hike: feet in the water, a bit messy, a bit physical. Provide extra clothes. Boots or submersible shoes. A headlamp is welcome. Gloves too. And a little taste for urban adventure. ; -)

Urban explorer, photographer, I roam the basements, roofs and hidden sites of Clermont-Ferrand for 20 years. I now propose, safely, a visit - not forbidden - to the Tiretaine, the secret river that runs under the city. Geological, historical and sociological visit.
Where you'll be
The Tiretaine is the river that winds under Clermont-Ferrand; Royat, thermal park, bridge of Royat, crossroads Europe, mill of Slobo, etc ... buried, it is discovered in some places. Following his bed, we will see from the bottom various monuments, parks and urban constructions.
Expérience très originale et unique, Lucas est vraiment passionné et sympathique, ce qui permet de découvrir un mixte entre l'exploration urbaine et une ballade dans la rivière. Lucas est un parfait guide et nous aide à passer les endroits un peu difficiles. Nous conseillons vivement cette expérience.
