When staying in the Nice area, it is well worth the drive up into the mountains to finish at the Gorge de Verdon. We took the route where our first stop was Tourettes. This is a quaint little village that has heritage buildings, amazing views, and a little art interest going on. Driving on by Mons, and stopping in Castellane - this town has a dramatic natural stone tower that the adventurous can climb - a lot of people also go white-water rafting. The best drive is between Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, stunning views down the Gorge de Verdon.

Our guide Mathilde was excellent, informative and charming. She tailored the tour to fit our needs. She was an outstanding driver and the van was well equipped for comfort and the long ride.It was worth the time. We would ask for her again if we are ever in this area again.
