Good places to climb in France 5a-6b Report this Post Average: (0 ratings)	Can't Post

Hi,

I'm looking for good places to climb in France, preferrably north and/or east of Marseille, but no further north than Lyon.

I'm climbing at around 5b level, heard about Ceuse and Gorges du Tarn, but that seems like a bit too hard for my level. Will be there a full weekend, so want a place that has enough easy routes so I don't just flail around, but with enough harder (for me, that is around F6a routes) ones to be a bit of a challenge.

If you have any suggestions, please lemme know!

Extremely close to Marseille (east) : Les Calanques, very wide place.

45 minutes north : Les Dentelles de Montmirail

1 hour NW : Collias, Russan, Seynes

All these places are on limestone, equipped, with many routes in this level.

Agree with les Dentelles de Montmirail.

Buis les Baronnies should also be nice this time of year:
