About This Route
The largest canyon in Europe, with 700 m walls above the emerald-green Verdon river. The D952 follows the north rim with a viewpoint at every bend, from Point Sublime to La Palud. If you have time, take the detour along the Route des Crêtes (D23) before dropping down to Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, a village clinging to the cliff.
