Gorges du Verdon

If you’re looking for a breath-taking natural wonder, you simply can’t miss the Verdon Gorge - known as the “Grand Canyon of Europe”! 

If you choose to drive there, you’ll cruise through some beautiful French countryside. 

When you arrive, you can choose to explore the canyon by foot, bike, canoe, paddleboard or a boat ride. 

If you’re up for the challenge, we’d recommend hiking along the canyon and taking in the spectacular panoramic views from above. One popular option is the Sentier Martel trail but it can take up to 6 hours to complete. 

Please note, it can be quite a long day trip from Nice, so if you don’t have a rental car we’d recommend booking onto a day tour that starts from Nice - check out Get Your Guide for options.
