Var Valley - Provence Val d’Azur

A land of spectacular deep narrow gorges, like those of the Cians and Daluis, cut through red schist formation by streams. They lead to Beuil, Valberg and Péone, or through the Val d’Entraunes to Aiguilles de Pelens and Col de la Cayolle. Puget-Théniers opens the way to the Roudoule Valley and its striking geological formations. There is an amazing contrast between the Upper and Middle Var Valley, more flaring, where the Train des Pignes winds its way in the sunshine...
