Verdon - Point Sublime

Point Sublime is probably the finest viewpoint on the drive through the Grand Canyon du Verdon. From the parking lot it is about 10 minutes' walk to the viewing platform, from which the visitor can enjoy the classic view of the Gorge of the Verdon. The platform stands 180m/591ft above the confluence of the Baou with the Verdon; there is a magnificent prospect of the resurgence of the river near the Couloir Samson.

Passing below the "Eagle's Nest" of Rougon, with the romantic ruins of a castle (rewarding detour) and through the defile of the Clue de Carejuan we reach, about 5km/3mi beyond Point Sublime, a road junction near the Pont de Soleils and return to Castellane.
