Castellane
Castellane is found at the northern end of the Gorges du Verdon in the Alpes de Haute Provence department.
A very popular base for exploring the Gorges du Verdon, Castellane is dominated above all by the large cliff / rock that supports the chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Roc. The chapel terrace especially has good views over the village and surrounding countryside.
The village has no great individual sites but is interesting to explore, with its narrow streets and medieval houses clustered around Marcel Sauvaire square.
Castellane, not surprisingly, is a popular centre for all kinds of outdoor activities in the region - hiking, cycling, mountain climbing etc The tourist office in Castellane can guide you - several waymarked hikes are possible if you would like to explore the countryside.
