Gorges du Verdon

Discover the breathtaking Gorges du Verdon, often called Europe’s “Grand Canyon,” a dramatic limestone gorge carved by the emerald-turquoise Verdon River in the heart of Provence, France. Plunging up to 700 meters deep and stretching 25 kilometers, this natural wonder dazzles with sheer cliffs, winding waterways, and vibrant waters that shift from deep green to electric blue under the Mediterranean sun.

Drive the thrilling Route des Crêtes for jaw-dropping viewpoints like Point Sublime, hike iconic trails such as the Sentier Martel through tunnels and along the river, or paddle by kayak/pedalo into the lower gorges from the stunning Lac de Sainte-Croix for an intimate encounter with towering walls and hidden beaches.

An adventurer’s paradise blending raw natural power with serene beauty, the Gorges du Verdon promises unforgettable thrills and tranquility—perfect for hikers, water sports enthusiasts, and nature lovers seeking Provence’s wild side!
