The Verdon Gorge
Flanked by 700-metre high cliffs, the Verdon gorges are Europe's largest canyon: a paradise for hikers, motorcyclists and sportsmen.
Imperious mountains, a clear sky swept by raging winds, fields of lavender in a thousand shades, forests, deep gorges, Haute Provence represents the most rugged but at the same time the most authentic territory in the entire region.
Here, there are no large population centres and the partial isolation has kept alive and jealously guarded the local traditions and cultures that make a stay in these villages of authentic and incredible beauty even more evocative.
