The Gorges du Loup is a stunning natural canyon located just a short drive from Grasse, carved by the Loup River over millennia. The gorge features towering limestone cliffs, emerald pools, and several waterfalls, including the famous Cascade de Courmes. It's a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering hiking trails of varying difficulty that wind along the river and up the cliffs. Visitors can also enjoy canyoning, rock climbing, and picnicking in designated areas. The contrast between the rugged rock faces and the lush vegetation creates a dramatic landscape. The sound of rushing water and birdsong fills the air, making it a refreshing escape from the town. The gorge is particularly impressive after rain when waterfalls are at their fullest.
