An
excursion to Europe's “Grand Canyon”
in the Gorge du Verdon is an unforgettable experience.

of typical Provencal villages, among them Moustier
St Marie, which produces excellent faience. For
those who love fresh-water sports, there is kayaking
on the Lac St. Croix and rafting and hydrospeeding

of Sillans la Cascade, with its fine waterfall,
is well worth a visit.
