Welcome to the Nesque Gorges, a spectacular natural formation hidden in the heart of Provence, in the Vaucluse department.
The Nesque is a river with a Mediterranean regime, its flow intermittent, nearly dry during the summer, yet it has had the power to carve deep and spectacular gorges in the thick limestone massif separating Mont Ventoux and the Vaucluse plateau, thus creating an impressive canyon between the picturesque villages of Monieux and Méthamis. You'll feel transported to another world as you admire these prodigious geological formations.
The Nesque Gorges are also famous for their winding tourist road, which winds along the cliffs and offers impressive views at every turn. This scenic route, starting in Villes-sur-Auzon and reaching Monieux and the Sault plateau, cuts through overhanging rock faces and is punctuated by belvederes offering superb panoramas.
The highlight of this journey is the Castellas Belvedere, offering breathtaking views of the Rocher de Cire, one of the most spectacular landscapes in all of Provence. You'll feel suspended between heaven and earth, amazed by the natural beauty surrounding you.
Whether you're a hiking enthusiast, a photography buff, or simply looking for a memorable getaway, the Nesque Gorges promise an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Provencal countryside. So get ready to be amazed and let yourself be carried away by the magic of this unique place in the world.
