The Haute Provence offers impressive Canyons, the Gorges du Verdon, dug by the river of the same name. On the way to the Ste Croix Lake, you will admire incredible panoramic views. At your request, the driver can stop so you can take photos. You will discover Castellane, a remarkable historical, cultural and sporting heritage. The village is today classified 'city of character'. It is located in a privileged environment, at the gates of the site of the Gorges du Verdon. Located on Route Napoleon and on the roads of lavender, the old village is also partly surrounded by the ramparts of the XIV century. Then, we invite you to discover Moustiers-Sainte-Marie that is ranked one of the most beautiful villages in France. Located at the gateway to the Gorges du Verdon, this village is built in the form of an amphitheater. It is known throughout the world for finesse faience and unique decors. Moustiers Sainte Marie enjoys an exceptional environment: from here, you have a view of the lavender fields, the mountains and the lake of Sainte-Croix.
