Three canyoning options in the Millau area, priced between 38 € and 47 €. Start with the aquatic hike in the Dourbie Gorges by LES ARTS DU VIDE (38 €, half day): open to everyone, it's the lowest-intensity entry point with wading and natural pools. Step up to Nature et Sensations' Tayrac Canyon (42 €, 5h): labeled "Occasionally sporty", it runs the longest session and adds technical canyon descents. The Bramabiau option (47 €, 4h) hits the same physical level but trades time for terrain, the underground river system making it the most distinctive geological experience of the three. If you want maximum duration, pick Tayrac. If you want the most unusual setting, go Bramabiau.
