View of the Verdon Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

Not as spectacular as the great Gorges du Verdon a few kilometers upstream, but the river dammed here in the wild landscape is also worth a hike.

July 2, 2024,An und in den unteren Schluchten des Verdon

Today we went from Quinson over the bridge to the left side of the Verdon and onto the high plateau. Then, just before the chapel, we went down into the gorge.

Although there were still traces of the two big fires 20 years ago, the forest has recovered quite well... downy oaks and kermes oaks, boxwood and juniper dominate.

September 12, 2025,Lac de Quinson

Lake Quinson is a reservoir in the Var region of France. It is formed by the Gréoux dam on the Verdon, which opened in 1967 and is located more than 13 kilometers downstream.

Located on the edge of the village of Quinson and at the entrance to the lower Baudinard Gorges, Lake Quinson is relatively unknown compared to other lakes …

Very nice hike with great views. It is important to wear good shoes, as you often walk over loose scree. The 200m climb is quite demanding depending on the temperature and sunshine. In the summer, make sure you drink enough.
