What you can expect

  • In the magnificent setting of the gorges of the Verdon, the deepest canyon in Europe, you will be invited to look up and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Europe's largest birds. The griffon vulture, with its 2.80-meter wingspan, is the most common. But with a bit of luck, you'll also spot the king vulture, or even the discreet Egyptian vulture.

    With you: Raoul, a local ornithologist who is passionate and a great teacher, will share much more than just knowledge. He will explain how these birds were reintroduced in the 1990s, their essential role in the ecosystem, their flight and foraging techniques, their social behaviours, and the challenges they face today.

    There’s no need to be an expert! These outings are accessible to everyone, adults and children, the curious and the passionate. They take place at a fixed observation point (no walking).

    Equipment (telescopes, binoculars) is provided, and you leave with more knowledge, memorable images, and sometimes even beautiful photos.

    A tour lasts approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.
