Perched high atop an impressive rock formation and clinging to the cliffside, you simply must visit the village of Châteaudouble, a must-see destination in the Var.
Located just 26 kilometres from Camping Verdon, this remarkable tourist spot sits 130 metres above the Nartuby Gorges. Its name, Châteaudouble, comes from the presence of two castles: one on the banks of the Nartuby River, and the other overlooking the village itself.
Visiting Châteaudouble means discovering an important part of the Var’s history, fully immersing yourself in the atmosphere of the region, and enjoying a place that has preserved its authenticity while still warmly welcoming visitors. This balance perfectly captures the essence of Provençal charm, along with the village’s unique character and beauty. For the more adventurous, Châteaudouble also makes a great starting point for exploring Languedoc Roussillon.

Beyond the historic centre of Châteaudouble and its remarkable architecture, well worth a dedicated visit, this Verdon village and its surroundings offer plenty of activities for the whole family during the summer holidays.
Of course, the famous Verdon Gorges stand out, with countless sightseeing opportunities and water-based activities. You will also find the Nartuby River flowing through the Var, the Artuby River (a tributary of the Verdon), as well as the Bivosque valleys.
Throughout the summer, many concerts are held, and traditional dishes such as aioli and pistou soup are celebrated in the village every first weekend of August.
There are several climbing routes to explore, along with many tourist sites including the ruins of Château de la Garde, the Saracen tower, Notre-Dame de l’Annonciation Church, and the Saint-Michel and Saint-Pierre chapels.
