Point Sublime, Scenic lookout in Rougon, France
Point Sublime overlooks the Gorges du Verdon canyon, providing direct views of the Samson corridor and limestone cliffs that rise above the turquoise river below.
The viewpoint marked the initial observation point for explorers who first documented the Gorges du Verdon, leading to its recognition as Europe's largest canyon.
The location serves as the starting point of the Blanc-Martel trail, where hikers gather to begin their 15-kilometer journey through the Verdon canyon.
Visitors can reach the observation platform through a 10-minute walk from the designated parking area, following clear signs along a maintained path.
From this vantage point, observers can see both the wall of the Duke and the cliffs of Escalès framing the entrance to the Grand Canyon du Verdon.
