Castellane

Highlight • Settlement

Castellane is a superb town located on the edge of the Verdon, 724 meters above sea level. It is dominated by the Roc, a huge rocky outcrop around which the city was located in the Middle Ages. It is pleasant to stroll through the alleys of the city, to admire the stone houses and to discover many stalls of all kinds. There are also several restaurants and cafes.

View of the Verdon Gorge

Highlight • Other

Along the Lac du Sainte-Croix there are some steep and long uphill sections. Sufficient fitness is therefore a prerequisite. Otherwise, the roads are easy to drive on, which can also be seen from the many cyclists (racing bikes, gravel bikes, full bikes).

A very nice stage, the drop in the nose to find the sun on the Verdon! I managed to lose my bag with my CB! It earned me a few fruitless round trips... The adventure continues 🤠
