Stay
The Hotel Mirval enjoys an enviable riverside location in the quiet medieval hamlet of La Brigue. This splendid old building is a member of the Logis de France chain of independent accommodation providers. All Logis de France members are united around the concept of providing high quality service, authenticity and the promotion of local specialities.
The hotel was recently renovated but has retained its family owned character and, of course, a warm welcome from your hosts Jean-Jacques and Corinne Dellapiane. And, with a river view terrace and panoramique restaurant serving excellent Nicoise and Italian influenced cuisine, dining is a genuine pleasure.
With just 18 en-suite bedrooms, places on this holiday are limited so be sure to book early to secure your place.

Itinerary
- Saturday: Arrival and Welcome
- On arrival at the hotel there will be time to settle into our rooms before a meeting with our guide and dinner.
-
- Sunday: Canyoning Level 1
- There are seven canyons in the Roya Valley affording some great canyoning opportunities. Our local activity guides willselect one that they feel is appropriate to the whole group. From our start point we will use a variety of methods to descend, sliding down natural water chutes, abseiling and simply jumping into clear deep pools. Picnic lunch included.
-
- Monday: Am Mountain Biking
- There are a few climbs today but for the main part it’s steadily downhill on pisted tracks taking in some of the local sites and villages. There are plenty of opportunities to stop and admire the wonderful scenery or enjoy a refreshing drink on the terrace of a local café. A picnic lunch is included.
-
- Tuesday: Tubing
- We head for the narrow but fast flowing River Roya today for a fun descent using inflatable rubber rings. Tubing is a great favourite amongst both children and adults as we twist and turn your way downstream. Great fun!
-
- Wednesday: Free Day or Optional Activities
- Today is free to relax or try additional activities which can be paid for locally. Alternatively, why not get out there and explore? Provence, the Riviera, the Parc National de Mercantour and Italy are all within an hour’s drive.
-
- Thursday: Kayak Tuition and Kayak Rafting
- The morning is spent on the lake at Breil-sur-Roya learning and refining our kayaking techniques. In the afternoon we take to the river to test out our newly acquired skills on the fast running and more challenging waters of the Roya.
-
- Friday: Canyoning Level 2
- Your experience on Sunday will stand you in good stead today as we step it up a level. More challenging and certainly more adrenaline fuelled than the first experience, this canyon descent will leave you with some unforgettable memories. Picnic included.
-
- Saturday: Depart
- It is time to bid farewell to your hosts at the Hotel Mirval and either head home or on to your next destination.
