VERDON RIVER

Meaning of VERDON RIVER in English

river, southern France. It is famous for its gorges, including its Grand Canyon, which may be seen from the scenic road that runs 12 miles (20 km) between Pont de l'Artuby and Aiguines, on the border of the Alpes-de-Haute Provence and Var dpartements. The Verdon River rises in Les Trois vchs mountain south-southwest of Barcelonnette, in Alpes-de-Haute Provence dpartement, and is 125 miles (200 km) long. It flows southward, passing through Allos, Saint-Andr-les-Alpes, and Castellane before turning west and joining the Durance River below Manosque. It is dammed several times above and below the gorges.
