Crack in the rock: Grand Canyon du Verdon - Alpes-de-Haut-Provence 2

Details
Published: 19 May 2023

Grand Canyon du Verdon - Alpes-de-Haut-Provence

Seen from above, the Grand Canyon of the Verdon is a huge crack in the limestone rock of Provence. The Route des Crêtes runs to the highest point (1319 m.) on the north rim, allowing a panoramic view of the surrounding topography and the Verdon flowing 800 metres below.
Another fantastic clear early morning but the clouds and then the rain came along quite soon.
