Gorges du Verdon / Lac de Sainte-Croix

Europe’s largest canyon

With its gigantic cliffs stretching for 20 kilometers, the Gorges du Verdon attract thousands of campers every year. Labelled a “Grand Site de France”, the Grand Canyon du Verdon is a dream come true for hiking and climbing enthusiasts, not to mention lovers of white-water sports such as canyoning, rafting, hydrospeed and canoeing.

The Gorges du Verdon are also home to the Sainte-Croix lake and its landscaped beaches. Situated at the foot of the Gorges du Verdon, it’s the ideal place for a family swim or pedal-boat ride, against a backdrop of the hills covered with holm oaks and pines of the Haut Var.
