France - Provence-Alps-Côte d’Azur
Fayet Pass
A Karen Brown Recommendation
Artuby, Provence-Alps-Côte d’Azur, France |
| Recenter Map To This Location |
When traveling the Gorges du Verdon there are many spectacular and dramatic vantage points from which to watch the river cut its path. From Artuby the road climbs on the fringe of the ravine to the Fayet Pass. Here a tunnel carves through the rock and square openings through the thick tunnel walls create windows that afford glimpses of the river’s dramatic passage. Every second of the drive following the jagged mouth of the Verdon Canyon is spectacular. The canyon is almost overpowering: the river forges a path through narrow stretches where the canyon sides plunge down to depths far below, and then slows and calms in wider sections, pausing to create glistening, dark-green pools.
