From Nice: Verdon Gorge & Route Napoléon Small Group Tour - Grasse, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie & Paddleboarding (Max 7 People)

Head to Provence along Route Napoléon
in a Panoramic Electric Vehicle

Depart from right in front of the Le Méridien Nice hotel. Travel in a small group of up to 7 people in a premium electric vehicle with a glass roof, while your accompanying guide provides live commentary in English, French, German, and Italian. Stop in Grasse, the historic capital of French perfume, to stroll through its hillside village, and then follow the legendary Route Napoléon deep into the Alpine landscapes of inland Provence and the Verdon region.

Pass through Castellane and Look Down at the Gorge from Route des Crêtes

Take a break in Castellane, a charming Alpine village marked by its cliffside chapel. Next, drive along the Route des Crêtes overlooking the Verdon Gorge and stop at various viewpoints. You can truly appreciate the scale of the 'Grand Canyon of Europe' as the turquoise Verdon River flows far beneath the limestone cliffs.

Discover Moustiers-Sainte-Marie and Lavender Fields

Nestled between two towering cliffs, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is officially listed as one of the 'Most Beautiful Villages in France' and is famous for its traditional pottery. Explore the village’s cobblestone streets, fountains, and artisan workshops. Depending on the season, you will also stop to take photos as you pass by the lavender fields of Provence.

Go Paddleboarding inside the Verdon Gorge

Where Lake Sainte-Croix meets the entrance of the canyon, you will paddleboard into the Verdon Gorge, gliding between the magnificent towering cliffs. If you wish, you can also go for a swim. After wrapping up the itinerary, return to Nice while soaking in the beautiful Provençal scenery.

※ The paddleboarding experience depends on the weather and wind conditions; if it cannot take place, more time will be spent at the viewpoints around the gorge.
