The hiking route

[edit]

This section (in particular Recommendations) is written more in the style of a tour guide than an encyclopedia. According to Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, articles should not include instructions or advice. See also Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Usage_and_spelling about usage of "one" and 2nd person pronouns.

location

[edit]

According to the French wikipedia article this is located in several departements (the dept. var as well), not just in alpes-de-hautes-provence. 84.196.58.217 (talk) 14:27, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move (kinda)

[edit]

It's not technically a move request, because I don't have the time just now, but I'll suggest this page be renamed Gorges du Verdon, per the sitewide standard set by France's other notable gorges. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:00, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
