Full description

This roughly ten-hour outing leaves Nice by road, crossing mountain scenery and the Loup Gorge before stopping at Castellane. The group then views the deep Verdon canyon and its turquoise water and spends free time in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, with lunch and local pottery shops.

The route also passes Sainte-Croix Lake and, in season, lavender fields. A bilingual driver-guide leads the day, with a shared or private format.

Reviewers praise the lake stop and the guiding, while one notes fast driving on motorway and bends.
