2025 Gorges du Verdon Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

South of France by Car : From Hilltop Villages to Sea Cliffs Exploring the South of France by car was the perfect blend of charm, nature, and coastal magic. I started in the stunning hilltop village of Gordes, passed through the lavender-filled fields near Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, and admired the views at Verdon Gorge. A detour to Ventimiglia added a fun cross-border touch, before finishing the journey with the breathtaking Calanques of Marseille. Travel tip : Start early to beat the crowds and enjoy golden hour at each scenic spot. Renting a car gives you the freedom to stop wherever beauty calls—trust me, it happens often in this region! #SouthOfFrance #RoadTripFrance #Calanques #VerdonGorge #Gordes #Moustiers #Ventimiglia #HiddenGemsFrance #TripMoments

#JuneTravelSupportEvent 📍Verdon Gorge I rented a car from Lys and went to Verdon Gorge, which is called the Grand Canyon of Europe. Verdon Gorge was truly magnificent and beautiful scenery, and swimming underneath it was the best. The lake was really beautiful. I didn't think I would swim, but I had a great time because of the swimsuit I brought. If you are going to Lys, I highly recommend renting a car and going to Verdon. #NiceTravel #FranceTravel
