Camping Gorges du Verdon

WK South-Afrika

We have a brand new TV-room where you can watch on a BIG TV-screen the competitions of WK Football!! Inside, there are wooden banks. If you want to sit a bit comfortable; you can bring your own chair!

When people watch football together, it creates a wonderfull atmosphere!!

I hope that everybody will enjoy the matches and the joy of the game!

11th, 12th and 13th of June there was a smal festival in Castellane: Fête de la Transhumance. It means: The shepherds feast. There where donkeys, horses and scheep!

You could see for examle how they shave the scheep and how the chanced horseshoes.

At the last day (Sunday) the scheep where going off into the mountains for the summer. There they can eat fresh grass again. When they will come back in the winter; they first have to take a bath before they are allowed to get back trough Castellane.

See you next time!!! XX Corien

National costume of old Castellane:

Fête de Castellane

Here it was Fête de Castellane in the weekend of 28,29 and 30 mei. It was a beautiful sight! Friday, there was a fair, and in the evening there were fireworks and there was a band playing nice music at the squere of Castellane.

Sundays, there was a lovely flowerparade. All the flowers were made of colored paper, it was very impressive!

Of course there was also music! Young and old enjoyed it very much!

The next festival is n 11th,12th and 13th of June. Then there will be a couple of hundred scheep walking trough Castellane. They are going into the mountains to spend the summer there and eat some fresh grass.

Until next time!!

Walk D "La Colle - Brayal"

We walked route D last monday. When we went up the mountain, we ran into a group of friends ;) They all had a bell around there necks, so it was a funny sound! Whole Castellane will be full with sheep in June, because then they are going into the mountains for the summer.

There where some wonderfull people who walked with me. Here they are in frond of a waterfall. The walls of the house are eating-away by the salt that's in the water!! It's wonderfull tu see and you can drink the water if you dare..!

We walked passed the Verdon. There was a nice place to sit down in the grass and rest a bit with a botle of water and/or something to munch.

Offcourse you can't only walk or drive next to the Verdon, you can also experience it!!!

I'm looking forward to welcome you on Campsite International and taking you on one of our terrific walks!

Greetings Corien.
