Welcome to the Gorges de la Nesque, a spectacular natural formation hidden in the heart of Provence, in
the Vaucluse department.
The Nesque, an intermittent mediterranean river
The Nesque is a Mediterranean river with an intermittent flow, nearly dried up during the summer, yet
powerful enough to carve deep and spectacular gorges into the thick limestone massif
separating the Mont Ventoux and the Vaucluse plateau.
This impressive canyon stretches between the picturesque villages of Monieux and
Méthamis, transporting you to another world as you marvel at these extraordinary
geological formations.

suspended between sky and earth, amazed by the natural beauty around you.
