On May 22, from 10 AM to 5 PM, the Climbing and Heritage Day will be held in St-Jeannet.
Following the success of the 2010 edition, which attracted nearly 500 people despite unfavorable weather, the town has decided to repeat this event that combines rock climbing with the discovery of Saint-Jeannet’s historical heritage.
Indeed, the town of Saint-Jeannet has been globally renowned for nearly half a century for its Baou and the outdoor activities one can engage in there. However, it also boasts a rich history, little known to the general public. This is why the organizers of this event aim to highlight the village’s heritage by offering workshops right in its heart, for both climbing enthusiasts and amateurs.
The 2011 edition program includes:
– Rappelling down the church bell tower – church square
– Rappelling down the Panorama – place on the oven/panorama
– Children’s zip line – church square
– Adults’ zip line – Renรฉ Veyssi parking lot
– Artificial bouldering for Leisure Activities – Renรฉ Veyssi parking lot
– Slackline – Notre Dame chapel
– Climbing House – chemin de la Fontaine des Bลufs
– Equipped wall – sports field on the Ferrage plateau
– Climbing workshop – rue du Chรขteau
– Climbing on natural site – Les Sources
– Joรซlettes – calades and trail courses
Guided tours of the village will be offered regularly throughout the day, and the local farmers’ market will also be present at the event this year, offering attendees the chance to discover local products.
