Basses Gorges du Verdon
The lower gorge between Quinson village and Lac d'Esparron, with cliffs on both sides. You can paddle a kayak or walk the riverbank trail.
The lower gorge is about 10 km long and smaller than the upper gorge, but its water is calm and it draws fewer visitors. At the bridge in Quinson, you can rent kayaks, pedal boats or electric boats. Paddling upstream into the gorge and back takes about 2 hours. A riverside trail follows an old canal to a cave deep in the gorge. Quinson also has the Musée de Préhistoire des Gorges du Verdon, so you can plan a half-day trip covering both.
