The Verdon River is approximately 175 kilometers long and passes through several man-made lakes throughout one of Europe's most stunning river canyons known as the Verdon Gorge. This scenic gorge was created by the Verdon River in south-eastern France and is more than 300 metres deep.
The name of the Verdon River originated because of the remarkable colors of the turquoise-green water that flows through this outstanding river canyon.
The Verdon River is in the vicinity of the French Riviera which has made the river and gorge a major tourist attraction. There are many activities to enjoy throughout this beautiful countryside like rock climbing, hiking, rafting, kayaking, sailing, fishing, horseback riding or just take a simple stroll to enjoy some of the amazing scenery.
