Since the confinement continues for some time yet, today we are offering a selection of full French-speaking outdoor documentaries, available free online.
Amountaineering, trail running, mountain biking, snorkeling, climbing, navigation… But also the wonders of nature. Several outdoor documentaries broadcast on Youtube and Viméo are worth the detour. Many of them are in English. We have chosen to make a French-speaking selection so that all of our readers can benefit from it. We wish you good relaxation while contemplating the exploits of these adventurers, while waiting to finally be able to reconnect with the pleasures of outdoor sports.
