Gîte de Chasteuil

Gorges du Verdon


Around 12km west of Castellane, this excellent-value chambre d’hôte run by Nancy and Pascal resides in a former schoolhouse with gorgeous mountain views. It is an ideal stop for hikers along the GR4. You're welcome to bring in your own food for dinner, and they'll pack you a hiker's picnic for €11.
