To understand the origin of the name of the trail (Blanc-Martel) you must go back to August 11, 1905, at the edge of the river. There is Alfred Martel appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture to explore the Verdon. 3 men from Rougon will accompany the team, including Isidore Blanc, the local cantor of the beauties of the place, without whom the exploration could not have been possible. The adventure will last 3 days and a half, during which the boats turn over and split. The adventure continues, the exploration of the gorges is done.
