22 March 2017.
After turning away from the French Riveria we headed for the mountains again, and in particular the Gorges du Verdon. This is the largest gorge in Europe, 700m deep in places, and 25 km long, where a gorge has been formed in limestone mountains. There is a circular road route around the rim of the gorge, mostly quite undeveloped, with only a couple of hotels or resturaunts along the way. There are also walking tracks, and some people raft the river in the depths of the gorge. I will let the photos tell the story...
That is a hotel on the rim of the gorge.
This whole area is quite wild so we were not entirley surprised to see these wild creatures, not domestic goats, possibly Ibex or related? If anyine can tell me I would be grateful.
After a day of spectaclar views and dizzying heights we were out of the gorge. This has been one of the great touring experiences we have had. It is a not-to-missed part of driving in France, in my opinion!
