Carved by the Verdon River over millions of years, the canyon spans approximately 25 kilometers in length and reaches depths of up to 700 meters, offering a landscape of sheer limestone cliffs and turquoise waters. Begin your adventure with a scenic drive along the Route des Crêtes, providing panoramic views of the canyon from its rim.

Experience the thrill of water sports on the Verdon River, with opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding, offering a unique perspective of the canyon's beauty from the water. Stop at the Lake of Sainte Croix, the largest source of fresh water in the region, for further exploration and relaxation. Explore charming villages like Moustiers-Sainte-Marie and Castellane, each offering a glimpse into the region's rich history and culture. Wander through quaint streets, browse colorful markets, and visit ancient churches, immersing yourself in the local ambiance. During the blooming season (mid-June to mid-July), marvel at the vibrant lavender fields stretching across the landscape, creating a breathtaking sight and a fragrant atmosphere. Capture stunning photographs against the backdrop of rolling hills and fields of purple flowers. Throughout the tour, learn about the importance of conservation and sustainable tourism practices in preserving the ecosystem of Gorges du Verdon. Discover efforts to protect the region, including the establishment of the Verdon Regional Natural Park, and how visitors can contribute to responsible exploration. Conclude your journey with a newfound appreciation for the power of nature and the wonders of sustainable tourism. Leave with memories of an unforgettable experience in the heart of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
