We’ll stroll around Moustiers-Sainte-Marie up above the Sainte-Croix Lake at the entrance to the Grand Canyon of Verdon in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is ranked one of the most beautiful villages in France and sits at the spectacular crossroads of the Gorges du Verdon and the Lavender Route which crosses the Valensol Plateau, famous for its lavender fields stretching as far as the eye can see. Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is also renowned for its earthenware and unique decorations and is celebrated for its exceptional blend of rocky terrain, rivers and lavender-scented air overlooking the gigantic Sainte Croix Lake.

We’ll visit the Gorges du Verdon, a unique natural site in Europe and a must-see stop for tourists in Provence. Provence Amazing Tours invites you to get a close-up look at this magnificent site and the world-renowned lavender fields. This enormous canyon sits between the departments of the Var and the Alpes de Haute Provence.

The Gorges du Verdon is the result of erosion of the Verdon river, an erosion which designed the bright, towering, limestone cliffs which attract many visitors from around the world.

Here in the Gorges du Verdon, you’ll discover a grandiose site! In this protected region, rich in fauna and flora, the panoramic views are breathtaking. Aged old villages carved out in niches of cliffs hold the Provencal charm of times gone by.
