Outdoors & Hiking
Provence can boast several world renowned natural areas, from the Camargue on the Rhône Delta in the West with its semi-wild horses, bulls and flamingos to the majestic Vaucluse Plateau further the North. Further East, the huge gash of the Grand Canyon de Verdon and eventually to the wilderness of the Mercantour in the East.
In between there are numerous smaller Parks like the Luberon Natural Park, the Alpilles and the magnficent Esterel between Fréjus and Cannes.
Gearing up
Despite being in the South of France many of these National Parks are located on very high ground, especially the Mercantour, so appropriate clothing is essential.
