Discover the Verdon village of Castellane
Castellane is located in a privileged site, right at the doorway to the Verdon Canyons. Tourists are drawn here both for the commercial activity and the large choice of excursions and sports offered by the old city.
Sports of all kinds whether in the air or in the water climbing or hiking, are all available, no matter the level. Downtown Castellane is focused around the Marcel Sauvaire square, the center of local activity. Strolling about one can discover narrow streets, (some of which are pedestrian), leading to shops or other more mysterious places.
The whole of the town should be admired from the terrace of Notre Dame du Roc. One reaches this chapel after walking alorng what remains of the 14th century walls of the city. There is also a beautiful view of the ramparts, the Napoleon Bridge and the Verdon Canyons.
For canyoning, you'll find good guides at Aboard Rafting :
