Gorges du Verdon

Europe's only grand canyon.

Reviewed By B_Brierley - London, United Kingdom

We visited for 1 day in August 2020, and even in the height of summer with many other tourists, this was still an incredible experience. We arrived at La Base Nautique de l'Etoile which is the closest pedalo/kayak rental to the Gorge opening (on the left bank when looking at the Gorge) at 8:45am and joined the already formed queue of people (opens at 9am). We rented a pedalo for 40Euros for 2 hours - this allowed us to pedal as far as the Gorges allows (in terms of signposts, not in terms of ability) and enjoy some swimming while docked at the side before heading back. We could have used more time to relax and just enjoy. Arriving that early in the morning affords you some quieter time in the Gorge, even in summer, before it gets really filled up with boats/people. Due to our next stop, we ended up driving the D952 to Castellane by total chance which turned out to be one of our TOP drives of all time - just stunning and highly recommended.

Route des Cretes La Palud

Reviewed By Drew_Baxter_YYZ - Toronto, Canada

We drove this 24 km. scenic route on the north side of les Gorges de Verdon early one weekday morning in the first week of June. One way traffic from the starting point just east of La Palud-sur-Verdon all the way to Chalet de la Maline where the road operates in both direction for about 10 km back to La Palud. Breathtaking views from 14 belvédères along the way, including Col. d’Illoire which also has a few picnic tables in the glades on the downhill side of the roadway across a small wooden bridge. At the summit (where it was just 12 degrees Celsius at 10 o’clock in the morning!), we saw a chamois at the side of the road and vautours circling in the air currents overhead.

While you visit the Moustiers town, it's worth to walk up to cathedral on top to see magnificent from the above. It's not a difficult route but not recommended for someone has heart problem for this walk. Make sure you bring water, hat and comfortable shoes with you. The view is all worth of the hike.
