The Verdon Grand Canyon
Located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, between Marseille, Nice, and Digne-Les-Bains, it is the longest canyon in Europe. A true paradise for outdoor sports, the Grand Canyon is more than 20 km long and can reach a depth of over 700 m.
At the bottom of this immense gorge flows an emerald-green river: the Verdon, a true natural gem, wild and virtually inaccessible.
Amid the limestone cliffs, you’ll have the opportunity to admire the rich diversity of flora and fauna in the Verdon Regional Nature Park.
