Nice, France: Canyon Holidays
Nice is found in the South of France on the Côte d’Azur. One of France’s most popular holiday destinations due to it’s location on the Mediterranean Coast and the east access due to it’s very own airport. With it’s sunny climate, French hospitality and bags of culture and fabulous food, Nice is definitely on the list of ‘must visit’s’
Les Gorges du Verdon is the largest canyon in Europe, and the second largest on Earth after the Grand Canyon. The Canyon itself began life in the Triassic period around 200 million years ago when layers of limestone were deposited, in the following millions of years layers of coral reef were deposited, then the area underwent some movement causing the limestones to fracture, some glaciers then remodeled the landscape giving the Verdon River chance to carve the magnificant views you see today.
