Top tips for visiting Verdon Gorge - one of the best things to do in Provence, South of France: - Head to Pont Du Galetas for the best view of the green waters Verdon Gorge was named after. There are small car parks either side of the bridge. - There are a number of places to hire pedalos and kayaks close to the Pont Du Galetas. We parked in the Plage du Galetas car park (free) and hired a pedalo for 1 hour (20 Euros). - For the shortest distance to pedal/paddle into the gorge, head to ‘Kanojano’ on Google maps. - You can also hire electric boats from ‘ALIZE ELECTRONIC LOCATION’ near Bauduen if you want to spend a full day on Lac de Sainte-Croix. - It took us 1hr to pedal as far as waterfall Saint Maurin and then come back again. (With a toddler!) I’d recommend hiring the pedalo for longer if you have kids and don’t want to rush. - I read that the water looks greener in the mornings when the light falls into the canyon. We arrived around 11am which is when this content was shot. - We visited Verdon Gorge on a day trip from Lourmarin, stopping at the lavender fields in Valensole and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie along the way. We packed a picnic and ate it on the shores of the lake. This whole experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Provence.
