Hotels in Gorges du Verdon, France

Gorges du Verdon, in southeastern France, is a massive limestone canyon famous for its turquoise Verdon River and dramatic cliffs that tower 700 meters high. Summers are hot and dry-perfect for hiking the Sentier Blanc-Martel trail or kayaking through the deep gorges-while winters are mild, ideal for rock climbing on routes like La Escalès. If you visit in spring, you'll find fewer crowds and cooler temps (around 60°F/15°C), making it great for photography at Point Sublime viewpoint.
