The Gorges Du Verdon is a river canyon that is often considered to be one of Europe's most beautiful. It is about 25 kilometres long and up to 700 meters deep. It was formed by the Verdon River, which is named for its startling turquoise-green colour.
The limestone walls, attract many rock climbers. It is considered an outstanding destination for multi-pitch climbing. The variety of 1,500 routes encompass cracks, pillars and seemingly endless walls.

Photography Tips

The road is really narrow, is difficult to find an available spot to park the car. Due to the tight place be careful when you walk along it and same when you take the photos. A tripod is always useful, but here I suggest to do fast.

Travel Information

It is easily accessible on its right bank from the north (via route D952 from Castellane to Moustiers-Sainte-Marie), and on its left bank from the south (via routes D71, D90 and D955 from Aiguines to Castellane).
