Le Verdon des Gorges

Between the mountains and Provence, discover the heart of Verdon

The emerald waters of Lac de Sainte-Croix and Lac de Castillon, fed by the Verdon river, offer an idyllic setting for swimming, kayaking and other water sports. The Gorges du Verdon, nicknamed Europe’s “Grand Canyon”, fascinate visitors with their vertiginous limestone walls, reaching heights of up to 700 meters. Picturesque villages such as Moustiers-Sainte-Marie perched along the gorges add a touch of Provencal charm to this wild and spectacular landscape. There’s no doubt about it, you’re in the beating heart of the destination between the lakes and the Gorges du Verdon!

Not to be missed

in the Verdon des Gorges

The landscape stretching from Saint-André-les-Alpes to the Lachens mountain is a true natural spectacle. From Saint-André-les-Alpes, you’re greeted by gentle green hills contrasting with the calm waters of Lac de Castillon. As you progress towards Montagne de Lachens, the hills give way to steeper terrain, punctuated by pine and holm oak forests. As you climb higher, the panoramas open up to deep valleys and impressive rocky ridges. Once you reach the summit of Montagne de Lachens, the highest point in the Var, you are rewarded with a 360-degree panoramic view of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, the Alpes-Maritimes and even the Mediterranean on a clear day. This harmonious landscape of water, land and sky offers an unforgettable experience for travellers in search of natural beauty.
