Verdon canyon or Gorges du Verdon are at 1 hour from Le Clos Geraldy, charming guest house with pool and Spa.
The Gorges du Verdon is the largest canyon in Europe. The most sensational are its cliffs. They range from 250 meters to 700 meters. Its width ranges from 6 to 100 meters. And even from 200 to 1500 meters at the top of the gorges.
Its river rises at 2,819 meters at the Allos Pass. Then it joined the Durance at Vinon sur Verdon. Its total route is 175 kms. It offers breathtaking scenery! And you can practice many activities there.
In addition, to the south we find Lake Esparron. And the other gate of the gorge is the village of Montmeyan.
Indeed it is an ideal place for swimming, or white water sports. You can picnic, go pedal boating but also canoe or kayak.
The highlight of the visit is certainly the spectacle of the wild landscapes of the lower gorges in an electric boat. Noiselessly with the clicking of water as a companion, the scrolling images leave you speechless.
One can also, of course, make many hikes there. From the easiest to the most difficult.
And we can provide you all information and itinerary for going there, even an electric boat rental.
