Passed through the Verdon Gorge today. It's really very pretty!
 
Heading that way later this year, currently just planning on riding around the outer edge (D71 / D90 / D952) and looking down into it and not bothering with the D23 inner route....

...Am I missing a lot by not riding the nadgery little inner track?
 
We've just been through both side of the gorge ourselves. If I could do only one side the South side is a clear winner for me

PS, If you can, visit the little town of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, its at the opposite end of the gorge from Castellane N43.84782° E6.22160°

(PPS, we thought the best patisserie in Castellane was the one near Hotel Du Levant called 'Le Panetier' on the corner of the square :D N43.84639° E6.51265° )
 
This is the best kind of travel advice!

Nah,it’s definitely the one with the motorbike outside which is to the left of the Ma Petite Auberge as you look across from the central square with fountain.
Great place for coffee and pain au choc for brek and get them to make you a sandwich up to take with you for lunch.
I can recommend the Bagnat which is tuna,egg,onion etc in a delicious baguette rustique for about €4.50.
 
Comps sur artuby is where the routes, left side right side of the gorges converge,
From catellaine you can get to comps sur arttuby going left toward grasse or right,
Its worth a day or two to ride around the area, moustieres is worth a visit,
There is a nice circuit from barreme north of castellaine around the reservoir,
Went through there yesterday and earlier in march,
 
Bottom of the gorge or start finish
