Verdon Gorge

CASTELLANE (Arrival)

Castellane sits in the beautiful hills at the doorway to the Verdon canyons. Travellers are especially drawn here by the vast choice of excursions and sports offered around the old city. The whole of the town can be admired from the terrace of Notre Dame du Roc. Walk along what remains of the 14th-century walls of the city to reach the chapel. There is also a beautiful view of the ramparts, the Napoleon Bridge and the Verdon canyons.

POINT SUBLIME

Hanging from a rocky peak rising out of the stony ground and lavender bushes, the village of Rougon overlooks the Verdon gorge. Rougon offers a peaceful setting far from the smoke and noise of the big cities. It is a typical little Provençal village complete with narrow streets and houses built from traditional materials. From the ruins of the castle, there is a wonderful view of the Point Sublime which truly deserves its name.
