Gorges du Verdon

An unusual geographical site in the world

The Gorges du Verdon have their source near the Col d’Allos and stretch for about 100 km. In some places, their breathtaking depth reaches 750 meters! Obviously, its dimensions make it the largest canyon in Europe!

The Gorges du Verdon are divided into four distinct geographical zones:

  • The Pre-Gorges du Verdon run from the village of Castellane to the Point Sublime.

  • The second part, the Grand Canyon stretches from the Samson corridor to the Sainte-Croix lake;

  • The Gorges de Baudinard begin downstream from the Sainte-Croix dam and then cross the 3 lakes area until the Quinson dam

  • The Low Gorges from the lake of Quinson to the lake of Esparron

An impressive choice of sporting activities!

Monaco


Discover the wonders of Monaco

While it is relatively compact, Monaco boasts an abundance of sights, including a diverse range of museums and attractions. Its landscape is quite hilly, which can slow down exploration. You can opt for a day trip to see the key highlights or spend several days immersed in all it has to offer.

Many tourists prefer to stay on the nearby coastline, such as in Nice, and make one or two trips to Monaco: on the first visit, you can navigate through the city, and on the second, devote your time to exploring one of the attractions. It’s helpful to note that Monaco is made up of several distinct neighborhoods, each offering its unique highlights...
