Located on the banks of the Rhône, the Parc de la Tête d'Or covers an area of 105 hectares. It is accessible by 7 entrances, the most remarkable of which is the Porte des Enfants du Rhône which opens onto the perspective of a 16-hectare lake, the centre of the landscape composition. Free of charge, it remains today one of the largest and most beautiful urban parks in France.
For several years now, the teams of the Parc de la Tête d'Or have been committed to making the site accessible to people with disabilities: choice of suitable materials, removal of obstacles, creation of an access ramp near the Cité Internationale.
All the sanitary facilities have been refurbished and are accessible in all seasons to people with reduced mobility. The Parc de la Tête d'Or car park is also accessible to the vehicles of people holding the European Parking Card. At the same time, the Botanical Garden's teams offer guided tours of the large greenhouses to blind and visually impaired people.

The Verdon Gorges forms the largest canyon in Europe. The Verdon Gorge is a river canyon located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of Southeastern France. It is about 25 km long and up to 700 metres deep. It was formed by the Verdon River, which is named for its turquoise-green colour, one of the location's distinguishing characteristics. In between the towns of Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, the river has cut a ravine to a depth of 700 meters through the limestone mass. At the end of the canyon, the Verdon flows into the artificial Lake of Sainte-Croix.
The gorge is very popular with tourists, who can drive around its rim, rent kayaks to travel on the river, or hike. The limestone walls, which are several hundreds of metres high, attract many rock climbers. It is considered an outstanding destination for multi-pitch climbing, with 1,500 routes available ranging from 20 metres to over 400 metres.
To get to the Verdon Gorge, the most popular and convenient method is by car, particularly if you're coming from Nice. You can also reach the Gorge by train or bus, but car rental is recommended for easier access to various points within the area.
