We travelled around the Gorges du Verdon by motorhome for three days, experiencing the gorge from the roads above, the small villages around it and finally from a pedal boat down on the river.<\/p><div class=\"sharethis-buttons\"><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"twitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/twitter.svg\"><span

We traveled by camper van and spent three days in the area, which allowed us to stop whenever we wanted, visit the villages and swap the view from the high cliff walls for swimming and boating down at Lac de Sainte-Croix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Maj-176.jpg\" alt=\"Mynningen till Verdon floden\" class=\"wp-image-75442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Maj-176.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Maj-176-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Maj-176-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two sides of the same ravine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easy to think that there\u2019s only one way to go through the Gorges du Verdon, but that\u2019s not how it works. On the north side of the Verdon River, the road runs through the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, while the south side is in the Var department. Both offer dramatic views, but from different directions and angles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We drove the camper on the narrow and winding roads and sometimes there were no guardrails at the cliffs. In some places we couldn&#039;t go faster than a few kilometers per hour - but that didn&#039;t matter. No one comes to the Gorges du Verdon to break speed records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150509_151157-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Gorges du Verdon\" class=\"wp-image-59204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150509_151157-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150509_151157-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150509_151157-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150509_151157-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/20150509_151157.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Good thing there isn't a sign with 100 on it!

We spent three days in the area ourselves and had time to drive around the gorge, visit the villages, stop at viewpoints and experience Lac de Sainte-Croix and the Verdon River without having to rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the best time to visit the Gorges du Verdon?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spring and early autumn are great times to avoid the biggest summer crowds. July and August are peak season with lots of traffic and visitors, and the official tourist information recommends driving early in the morning or later in the afternoon during peak summer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you drive around the Gorges du Verdon with a campervan?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, we did our own road trip around the Gorges du Verdon by camper van. However, the roads are narrow, winding and steep at times, so you should be used to mountain driving. On the Route des Cr\u00eates, the maximum vehicle length is 12 meters and the maximum height is 3.6 meters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What not to miss in the Gorges du Verdon?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we had to choose, we would combine&nbsp;<strong>the views from the roads above the gorge with a ride on the water below<\/strong>. Drive the Route des Cr\u00eates, stop at the viewpoints, visit Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, and then head down to Lac de Sainte-Croix to rent a kayak, canoe, or pedal boat and experience the gorge from a completely different perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you swim in the Gorges du Verdon?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is good to swim at&nbsp;<strong>Lake Sainte-Croix<\/strong>, where we took a lovely dip ourselves. However, one should not assume that it is safe to swim anywhere in the Verdon River itself. The currents and water levels can change quickly due to the dams, and swimming is regulated or prohibited in several places.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2020\/11\/fakta-om-frankrike\/\"><strong>Facts about France - 30 things you (might) not have known<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2018\/08\/med-kanot-i-ardeche-i-frankrike-pont-darc\/\">Canoeing in Ardeche, France - and the Pont d'Arc!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"freed-254735082\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_2 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><form method=\"post\" id=\"ft_newsletter_subscribe\" action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2015\/05\/gorges-du-verdon\/\" class=\"ft-newsletter\" data-ajax-url=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" data-trp-original-action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2015\/05\/gorges-du-verdon\/\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"stage\" value=\"subscribe\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prenumerera_pa_vart_nyhetsbrev\"><\/span>Subscribe to our newsletter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"form-field\" data-missing=\"This field is required.\" data-invalid=\"Please enter a valid email address.\">\n<label for=\"ft_newsletter_email\">Email address<\/label>\n<input id=\"ft_newsletter_email\" name=\"ft_newsletter_email\" type=\"email\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"Enter your email address\" aria-required=\"true\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<input class=\"signup button newsletter-meta-button\" type=\"submit\"  name=\"subscribe\" value=\"Subscribe\">\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -4200px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ft-newsletter-protect\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"98d0b92c63fae1c39c28d2024aa82be8e0ab74fe\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\"><\/div>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"trp-form-language\" value=\"en\"\/><\/form><\/div><div id=\"freed-3771695841\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_3 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 35px;\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"FREEDOMtravel Exit\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel.png\" alt=\"FREEDOMtravel Avslut\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-224x75.png 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-600x200.png 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-18x6.png 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-433x144.png 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skribent: Helena Bergstr\u00f6m Uppdaterad: Augusti 2026&nbsp;| Gorges du Verdon i s\u00f6dra Frankrike \u00e4r en dramatisk ravin med h\u00f6ga kalkstensklippor, slingrande bergsv\u00e4gar och den intensivt turkosa Verdonfloden l\u00e5ngt d\u00e4r nere.
