During the glacial melt of the last ice age the Gorges du Verdon was dug through the thick limestone in today's département Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. The breath-taking gorge is also called the “Grand Canyon of Europe”, due to the iconic steep white rock cliffs that line the course of the Verdon river and which can rise up to heigts of 700 meters over the water.
