About Gorges du Verdon

The Gorges du Verdon is a spectacular river canyon in southeastern France, widely considered one of Europe's most beautiful natural wonders. Over 25 km long and up to 700 meters deep, the canyon is famous for the striking turquoise-green color of the Verdon River, which empties into the scenic Lake of Sainte-Croix.

💡Why Visit?

Kayak or paddleboard into the massive limestone cliffs of the canyon from the turquoise waters of Lake Sainte-Croix.
