The Gorges du Verdon
A unique natural masterpiece in Europe
A true preserved jewel, Europe's largest canyon invites you to marvel between the picturesque villages of Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. Shaped by the emerald waters of the river, these vertiginous cliffs offer a striking spectacle. To appreciate its full grandeur, drive the cornice road and make an essential stop at the Point Sublime, a spectacular belvedere overlooking the chasm.
Exploration and wild landscape enthusiasts will find an ideal playground here. Marked hiking trails allow you to venture close to the river for total immersion in this majestic nature. It is the perfect excursion to add a touch of adventure and freshness to your holiday in the region.
Relaxation and leisure at Lac de Sainte-Croix
At the gateway to the gorges, this vast 2,200-hectare expanse of turquoise water is an immediate invitation to disconnect. Its supervised beaches during the summer season welcome families for gentle days of swimming and lazing under the Provençal sun.
This mirror of water is also a paradise for all kinds of water sports. For a memorable escape, rent a canoe, kayak or electric boat to travel the last kilometres of the canyon by water. Sailing and rowing sessions complete the offering to satisfy every traveller's desires.
