What to expect
The Verdon Gorge is a spectacular natural site in France, known for its breathtaking landscapes and diverse outdoor activities. The gorge is crossed by the Verdon River, which has incised the rock over centuries, creating a deep and narrow canyon. The area is home to several massifs, including the Montdenier, Chiran, and Mourre de Chanier, which offer stunning views and hiking opportunities. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities, including hiking, kayaking, climbing, paragliding, and swimming in the lakes and rivers. The gorge is also a great spot for star observation, with minimal light pollution. The Verdon Regional Natural Park is a protected area that preserves the natural beauty of the gorge and its surroundings. Families can explore the gorge by car, taking in the views from the top of the cliffs, or engage in more adventurous activities like bungee jumping or speleology. The lakes of the Verdon, such as Castillon and Sainte-Croix, offer exceptional water quality and are perfect for swimming and water sports
