Route des Cretes , a set on Flickr.
Route des Cretes is considered the Grand Canyon of the France. It’s a serious drive about 5 hours not including stops, but we are so glad we did it. If we had known how amazing the area was we would have arranged to stay the night and done some more exploring. This was the most amazing drive with the most spectacular views!! As part of our drive we stopped at a cute medieval town called Castellane. It was situated just below some mountains and had lots of little streets and markets full of boutique stores with heaps of interesting pottery, clothing, crafts, food ... Continuing on our journey we stopped several times to do short bush walks to look at the huge cliffs and canyon. The road was narrow with heaps of rocks over hanging the road. The lake and river were a magnificent blue; this is a place I would definitely visit again. We also visited another town called Belvedere before heading to Frejus beach for a sunset swim on the way home.
