Previous Updated 44 seconds agoWith an endless list of national parks to visit in the United States, visitors are typically content to explore the “great out” in their own yard.
That’s until an unavoidable volcano turns us into sand, but that’s all that makes the exotic side of Europe’s hidden gems that only the locals know about.
France may be known for international icons like Paris, world- renowned museums, remarkable beaches, and interesting hats, but often is the country’s spectacular nature discussed unless you’re exploring wine country.
A stunning location, known as the” Grand Canyon of Europe,” makes for the ideal summer escape from the hustle and bustle of any major European cities.
Turquoise Waters Rivaling The Mediterranean
Le Gorges du Verdon, or Verdon Gorge, as we will visit it since Rosetta Stone is on the back burner.
Within the Verdon Natural Regional Park, visitors can find one of France’s best-kept mysteries in Provence.
With nearly 2, 000 reviews, this stunning natural wonder has a great ranking on TripAdvisor, mostly due to the picture-perfect blue waters that give the impression of a personal Mediterranean paradise.
Teaser call – this jaw- dropping valley is not in the Mediterranean, nor is it located on the coast.
Although Nice is one of the closest significant cities, about 2 hours apart.
This Summers, Beat The Crowds In Paradise.
Verdon Gorge is not a popular destination, but this one of Europe’s best spots to avoid the holiday audiences.
While no flawless, when compared to the true Grand Canyon, this is the position to be.
Paris will be packed for the Olympic games this summer, so why not consider something novel and interesting if France is a must-see for you this time?
June is also one of the best travel seasons.
The beautiful blue waters in your own little paradise will leave you with only the Greek Islands when you go for a swim or hire a boat.
The park is a sizable outdoor playground, much like the Grand Canyon, and it does n’t just have water.
There are many way to enjoy your time, such as walking, climbing, and mountain biking.
The Pont du Galetas gate, which overlooks rocky scenery and icy blue waters below, is one of the many locations where you can take the best pictures of this bucket-list-worthy destination.
Clear out your lens because you’ll be taking a lot of pictures for the “gram”!
Day Trip Or An Extended Holiday?
Some Euro-travelers prefer to travel across the continent more than stay in one location.
Sometimes you go to Paris and get a train to Brussels, as an example.
Although Marseille and Nice are much more visible than a major city, Verdon Gorge is not as available.
The best way to get to the valley, where both places are 2 and a half hours, is to use these locations as entrances.
There are several bus and coach roads, or you can park your car on-site.
Plus, a France road trip sounds amazing, does n’t it?
With the right planning and the right planning, getting here wo n’t be a drag, no matter what your opinion is. There are some pretty awesome places to stay, whether for a day trip or an extended vacation.
Unfortunately, that’s up to you whether the walk here is for a short stay or to invest much of your holiday time in one of Europe’s buried treasures.
Best Places To Stay
When we daring the less traveled roads, we may have some of the best vacation experiences.
Dispersed around Verdon Gorge are smaller, but beautiful, villages that make for a great foundation to explore the area.
How do you want to get in a boujee?
There are incredible 4-star hotels on the higher end, including the La Bastide de Moustiers – Hôtel &, Restaurant, for about$ 400 per night.
There are still comfortable lodging under$ 100 on the lower end.
A comfortable bed and breakfast set along post-card-worthy lilac fields, offering a peaceful setting to unwind and yet only 30 minutes from Verdon Gorge, is the Le Gîte de Venascle.
Then, Airbnb is abundant in the region and has numerous prices.
