Gorges du Verdon (Verdon Gorge)
Vast, dizzying and uniquely beautiful – but even the
boldest superlative cannot describe the awe-inspiring
view from the edge of this canyon, or the vertiginous
700-metre drop into what appears to be a bottomless
chasm. Full marks to nature for another impressive
tour de force. It took a very, very long time for the river
to cut its 21 km path so deep into the white Jurassic
limestone. Watching the light play on the steep cliffs,
you get a sense of your own insignificance: nature a giant,
man a dwarf.
