What are they?
The Verdon canyon is the result of a fascinating geological process. Over more than 5 million years, the Verdon River has slowly carved its way through the limestone rocks, forming one of the largest canyons in Europe.
The Verdon canyon bears striking testimony to the power of nature and the region’s geological history.
The process of hydraulic erosion, combined with tectonic activity, has sculpted the spectacular cliffs and impressive landscapes we can admire today.
A visit to the canyon reminds us all that human life remains an insignificant event on our planet’s geological time scale.
