The expert's opinion

To fully benefit from the instruction during this trip, we recommend you be at a 6B/6C level. You are not required to lead climb. You may very well want to progress towards 7a using top-rope.

The Buoux site is ideal for this activity. Accommodation is available nearby without needing a car. The type of accommodation should be specified in the activity description (dormitory or room with a certain number of beds, etc.). We ended up with only two participants (the minimum number required), which meant the instructor was less present, but whether there were 2 or 6 climbers, the climbing time remained the same. Nevertheless, the instructor remained very professional and ensured we followed a well-structured program that met our expectations.
