Hiking

This portion of the hiking trail follows the route of the old Verdon canal, which was in service from 1875 to the 1980s. The canal was used at the time to carry water to the villages, as well as to the farming lands. Today, the path has been laid out and allows you to hike as close as possible to the Verdon. It is a truly magnificent passage, where you move along the side of cliffs.
