Read moreThe Gorges du Verdon in France is sometimes called the Grand Canyon of Europe, and it's not hard to see why. This deep canyon is surrounded by dramatically high mountain ridges, and through it flows a bright green shimmering river. A motorway winds along the steep cliffs, where you can enjoy the fascinating views at a slow pace.
