Provençal Escape: Villages, Canyons And Turquoise Waters

Begin your journey with a pause at the Gorges du Loup, where a majestic 40-meter waterfall tumbles into the valley, before continuing to Castellane, a warm Provençal village where time seems to slow down over a morning coffee.

Follow the winding road along the Verdon River, its waters shimmering in shades of turquoise and emerald, and marvel at Europe’s largest canyon, plunging 700 meters into dramatic cliffs and untamed beauty.

In Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, one of France’s most enchanting villages, wander cobbled lanes steeped in history and discover the artistry of earthenware and ceramics that has flourished here for centuries. After a leisurely lunch, the road leads you to the Lake of Sainte-Croix, a mirror of turquoise serenity nourished by the Verdon waters.

As the afternoon unfolds, the scent of lavender fields greets you at the foot of the Alps — endless violet waves under the Provençal sun, inviting you to capture photos as timeless as the landscapes themselves.
