Mist rising in the mountains near Greolieres
Cascades des Demoiselles
This mountain road gives you a different impression of the area of Provence we visited recently. The sun has been replaced by the mist rising up from the valley floor.
Just the other side of Greolieres we turned off this particular road into the Valley du Loup. Here the valley got narrower, with steep cliffs either side. As we continued down the east side of the gorges we discovered it was peppered with waterfalls. Perhaps the most spectacular, were the Cascades des Demoiselles.

We returned up the east side to explore the west side. Here we discovered the village of Gourdon sat on a rocky outcrop. It looked of interest & we noted there was access for disabled parking up the steep slope of the outcrop. We returned later in our holidays specifically to look around Gourdon, its castle & castle gardens, the views along the valley towards the Med, it's innumerable gift & craft shops.
