Overview

Treat yourself to this famous tourist hotspot (Les Gorges du Verdon).
Drive into the deepest gorges in Europe until 700 meters deep. Observe a very rich fauna composed of 50 species of mammals : (deer, felines, saurians, etc.), and 180 species of birds, especially the golden eagle, and the griffon vulture.

Discover the wildlife and enjoy unforgettable landscapes in the heart of the Alps, admire the turquoise waters of Lake Sainte Croix, visit the 5th-century medieval village of Moustiers Sainte Marie, and stroll in the lavender fields on Valensoles plateau.

This is not a tour where you spend most of your time driving in traffic jams! It's not a chase like many other tours. I built the tour to avoid this problem, you will have enough time to enjoy each spot with the help and instructions of a professional guide.

Treat yourself to this tour rich in history, wild nature, unforgettable landscapes in the heart of the Alps; the turquoise waters of Lake Sainte Croix.

Enjoy these gorges which attract admirers of natural landscapes, to practice sports (boating, white water, climbing, hiking, etc.), or to observe the protected fauna and flora within the Verdon Regional Natural Park.
