Gorges du Verdon

The Verdon Gorge (aka "Grand canyon du Verdon") is a beautiful river canyon. It is about 25 kilometres long and really deep. It was formed by the Verdon river. The most impressive part lies between Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. Some areas of the canyon are remote and hard to access, the more accesssable areas are very "touristic". The busy entrance to the Verdon Gorge seen from the bridge. The Verdon here enters the (man made) "Lac de Sainte-Croix".
