Point Sublime
The most famous viewpoint on the eastern stretch of the Verdon Gorge, overlooking the Samson tunnel at the gorge entrance and a river bend 180 m below.
The viewpoint is beside the D952 road below the village of Rougon. From the car park, it's about a 10-minute walk to the rock platform, which overlooks the gorge mouth and the winding river. The nearby Couloir Samson path leads down to the riverbank and is one of the endpoints of the Sentier Martel hike. Admission is free. Roadside parking is limited, and it gets crowded around midday in peak season. Combine it with a visit to the old village of Rougon above.
