Verdon Gorge

The Verdon Gorge was one of our French highlights. A place of great natural beauty, vertigo inducing vertical drops, Griffen Vultures soaring on the thermal currents, narrow roads and teal green rivers. To add drama to our visit the mist came and went, at times severely limiting visibility - a foreboding atmosphere.

The photographs do not come close to experiencing the real thing.

It was also the scene of the race between Jeremy Clarkson (in an Audi) and the rock climbers. The two links below give replay a part of this race.

A Griffen Vulture (not a dirty lens).

Leaning over the edge.

There is a kayaker (you need to look hard).
