Balcons de la Mescla
A viewpoint on the south-rim 'Corniche Sublime' road, overlooking the river bend formed 250 m below where the Verdon and Artuby rivers meet.
Mescla means 'confluence' in Provençal. The viewpoint lies on the D71 (Corniche Sublime) and is built at the cliff edge. From here, you can see the U-shaped river bend where the two rivers meet and wrap around a rocky spur, the most famous view on the south rim. There is a restaurant and a car park nearby. From Aiguines, it's about a 30-minute drive east along the D71. You can continue to Pont de l'Artuby, then loop back to the north rim via Trigance and Castellane.
