English term or phrase: Gravel river bank
Bonjour,

Il s'agit d'une descente de rivière en chambre à air (river tubing). Comment traduire gravel river bank?


Start off with short river side walk up of 15 minutes to the gravel river bank where you will start off, then float down the river, about a kilometer (approximately 30min) and do it all again!

Merci!

Graviers ou galets et sans confusion avec bank. Pour éviter on peut dire la plage de graviers...

gravel river bank
berge du torrent


Explanation:
Je le comprends comme "bank of the gravel river", souvent utilisé pour distinguer un fond sableux d'un fond caillouteux, que je rendrais en français par le terme de torrent, vue qu'on risque d'utiliser celui de rivière un peu plus loin

agree  AnneLaureT: J'ai hésité avec cette combinaison. Masi au final vu que l'on parle d'une descente en eaux vive, l'idée est de décrire l'endroit de départ. D'où la berge.
