The Verdon is a tributary of the Durance in southern France, in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region, on the border of the departments of Var and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. It springs at the Col llos in the Trois Evêches massif. It flows into the Durance at Vinon-sur-Verdon. Between Castellane and the bridge of Le Galetas the river runs through a deep gorge, the Gorges du Verdon.
The Gorges du Verdon is the largest gorge in Europe and second largest in the world, and is also called the Grand Canyon du Verdon, after the Grand Canyon in the United States. This park is a very popular area for nature lovers. Many climbers come to this area in order to test themselves on some steep walls of the gorge.
The Lac de St Croix is the second largest lake in France, located on the border of the departments of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Var. It is also visible from a plane, if it is not cloudy. The lake has existed since 1973. The village of Les Salles-sur-Verdon was formerly on the site of the lake. There are still traces of it, such as asphalt roads that disappear in the lake.

In t spring and autumn the water is so low that it can be reached by foot.
The lake also atrracts tourists. Especially near the entrance of the Gorges du Verdon are catamarans, canoes, kayaks, pedal boats and electric boats for rent for those who want to visit the gorge. Petrol engines are prohibited because of water pollution, odors and noise.
