Easter Holidays - Gorges du Verdon

 Les Gorges du Verdon is the biggest River Canyon of Europe and located in north of Provence. A small small rivery now cuts through the landscape for 25km and at parts up to 700m deep! The river is called the Verdon river and is famous for its Turquoise-Green colour.
At the end of the canyon the river flows into the artificial lake Lac du Sainte-Croix, with an astonishing colour of Turquoise!

Even though 1hr south by the Mediterranean it was 26C and sunny, we here managed to experience some awfully heavy hail, pouring rain, and storming clouds. So stopping for a hot cocoa at a small cafe with above picture taken from the terrace, not complaining despite the weather.
