Discovery of the region and the Gorges du Verdon
The Gorges du Verdon
Located in the heart of the Verdon regional natural park, the gorges are a unique site in Europe.
21 km long, the Verdon river flows through the faults, open or underground, dug for millions of years.
This part of the Verdon offers spectacular views of the walls of the gorges which can reach 700 meters high.
You can also contemplate the magnificent landscapes of the Verdon near its lakes
