The most beautiful canyon in Europe

The Gorges du Verdon are unique in Europe and are one of the major tourist poles of Provence. Provenceweb invites you to better discover this magnificent natural site and hopes to be able to help you prepare your stay in the Verdon country.

To be practical, we have arbitrarily grouped together in the "Pays du Verdon" ; the villages located on the banks of the Verdon and those located less than an hour by car.

This immense and magnificent canyon is located straddling the departments of Var and the  Alpes de Haute Provence. The Gorges du Verdon result from the erosion of the Verdon river and now appear as gigantic cliffs of limestone rocks.
