Gorges du Verdouble

The Gorges du Verdouble features a series of emerald-colored pools and waterfalls formed by the Verdouble river carving through limestone rocks over time.

The limestone formations in the gorges date back to the Cretaceous period, providing geological evidence of ancient marine environments in this region.

Local residents maintain traditional swimming practices at designated spots within the gorges, following specific safety regulations established by the community.

The site offers paid parking facilities at 7 euros per day or 3 euros after 5 PM, with access to restrooms and designated picnic areas.

The natural pools connect through a sequence of small waterfalls, creating multiple swimming levels with varying depths throughout the gorge system.
