La Palud-sur-Verdon

Highlight • Settlement

La Palud-sur-Verdon is a superb little village in the Verdon Regional Natural Park. It is one of the best starting points for an escapade in the gorges. There is a public fountain, essential shops, a bakery and a few very nice bars and restaurants. A simple spot, to discover absolutely!

Great Verdon canyon

Highlight • Other

In the summer on weekends only very early or very late a fun; Otherwise one is stuck between motorhomes and gets the roar of motorcycles no longer out of his head. If you drive in a clockwise direction, you will see the gorge again and again while driving.
