At the end of the gorge, the Verdon River\nflows into the Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon, a stunning artificial lake that is\noverlooked by the pretty village of Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being not far from the glamorous cities and towns of the Cote d\u2019Azur, taking a trip to the Verdon Gorge is a popular way for tourists staying on the French Riviera to spend the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gorge is a hive of activity for rock climbers, who test\ntheir skills on the sheer limestone cliffs that cling onto the canyon on either\nside. With around 1,500 different routes winding their way through the\nlimestone cliffs, rock climbers will never have to do the same route twice at\nthe Verdon Gorge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This immensely beautiful river is also popular for kayakers\nand canoers, who traverse their way through the stunning blue\/green water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gorge is also home to spectacular hiking trails that accommodate for all abilities. One of the most popular hiking routes begins at the characterful little town of Moustiers Saint Marie and winds to the small medieval village of Trigance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birdwatching enthusiasts are also in their element at the\nVerdon Gorge, and this area of outstanding and unspoilt natural beauty is home\nto a hive of birdwatching activity, with eagles, vultures and other birds of\nprey, regularly seen circling above the dense forests that flank either side of\nthe mighty Verdon Gorge. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Verdon Gorge that carves its way into the terrain in Central Provence, is considered to be one of the most beautiful canyons in Europe and a must-see natural wonder of this part of France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":8468,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1185,1054,54,58],"tags":[1018,1263,1259,705],"class_list":["post-8467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beaches","category-food-and-drink","category-things-to-do-in-provence","category-things-to-do-in-south-of-france","tag-beaches","tag-south-east-france","tag-south-france","tag-what-to-see-in-provence"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
