The Artful Traveler

The deep cliff of the Gorges du Verdon is unique in Europe and is one of the greatest tourist attractions in Provence.

The gigantic cliffs of calcareous rock are the result of the erosion of the Verdon river.

In the midst of a nature reserve, rich in flora and fauna, the scenery here is astonishing. Never really discovered until the beginning of the century, the Verdon Gorges have since then fascinated innumerable visitors, There is no doubt that the sight is imposing!

The custodial villages nestled at the foot of the fault have maintained their old fashioned Provençal appeal.
