Verdon Gorge (Gorges du Verdon)

Nestled away from the polished glamour of St. Tropez and Cannes, the Verdon Gorge (Gorges du Verdon) reveals a dramatic landscape of limestone cliffs and azure waters. As the deepest canyon in Europe, it plunges to a depth of 2,100 feet (700 meters). Visitors can explore its rugged terrain through activities like swimming, sailing, and sunbathing along the water’s edge. For the more adventurous, the towering cliffs offer extensive rock climbing routes that stretch as far as the eye can see.
