Your Experience
The Verdon Gorge: crystal lakes and fields of purple!
Start an memorable full-day guided tour through the Grand Canyon of France, known as the Verdon Gorge. From your vantage point above, take in panoramic views where jagged limestone cliffs drop dramatically to meet the shimmering waters of the Verdon River below. As you journey closer to Sainte Croix Lake, picture yourself kayaking on its crystal-clear surface amidst towering cliffs that descend into turquoise depths. Your adventure culminates with a visual feast — the vibrant lavender fields of Provence in full bloom each summer. Wander through this sea of purple and capture stunning landscape photos.
Provençal Charm & Pottery Dreams
Your tour offers more than just stunning views as you approach Castellane, the gateway to the Verdon Gorge. This village is uniquely shaped like an amphitheater with its cobbled streets lined by iconic Provencal ochre houses. Explore historical landmarks such as the Tour Pentagonale (5-sided tower) and Porte de l'Horloge (clock gateway). Your next stop, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie village, is renowned for its pottery and earthenware craftsmanship. Consider participating in a pottery-making workshop to create your own keepsake. The village is famous for faïence — tin-glazed earthenware with each shop displaying this exquisite art form.
