Fabulous Red Canyon and Entrevaux Private Full day Tour

Hewn by the River Var through red schist and carpeted in a patchwork of greenery, the Daluis Gorges, declared a regional nature reserve, are of unparalleled depth, fierceness and colour. The overhanging walkway commands fine views of the gorges, especially on a bright afternoonRed is the definitive colour of the desolate but beautiful rocky landscape of these gorges that cut through the Mercantour to the south. The phenomenal powers of erosion of the Cians are increased tenfold during the flood season. The river has carved an amazing sequence of natural sculptures all along its 25km/15mi-course through the lower and upper gorges.Entrevaux is one of the Haute-Provence villages that has been able to retain its cachet and character. A former fortified royal town redeveloped by Vauban and renamed for the citadel that tops it, its exceptional fortifications, its cathedral and its royal gate make this village a stop not to be missed. The medieval city of Entrevaux, built on a rocky spur, overlooks the Var river. You will fall for the charm of its high, narrow houses, its small squares and ancient fountains: all this amidst glorious countryside, olive groves and terraced gardens!
