Europe's greatest gorge - the Gorge du Verdon with is amazing views is only a short drive away. It's a good daytrip going round it and visiting the village Moustier Saint Marie on the way with its hillside chapel and lively village in summer. You get an impressive view of the huge gorge on both riversides at different viewpoints.
