Perched atop an imposing rock and clinging to the cliffside, you have the opportunity—and indeed, the obligation—to visit the village of Châteaudouble, a must-see destination in the Var.
So we’re heading just 26 kilometers from the 4-star campground near Châteaudouble to explore this tourist attraction, which sits 130 meters above the Nartuby Gorges.

Of particular note, of course, are the Verdon Gorges and all there is to do there—whether it’s sightseeing or water sports— but also the Nartuby River, which flows through the Var department, as well as the Artuby River—a tributary of the Verdon—and the Bivosque valleys.
