Its source is at an elevation of 2,819 metres, in the south-western Alps, between the col d'Allos and the Trois Eveches mountain, south of Barcelonnette. It flows south-west through the following départements and towns:
  Alpes-de-Haute-Provence: Allos, Colmars, Saint-André-les-Alpes, Castellane
  Var: Vinon-sur-Verdon
  The Verdon flows through several artificial lakes, before flowing into the river Durance near Vinon-sur-Verdon, south of Manosque. The Verdon is best known for its impressive canyon: the Verdon Gorge. This limestone canyon, also called the "Grand Canyon of Verdon", 20 kilometres long and more than 300 metres deep, is a popular climbing and sight-seeing area. The name comes from the green appearance of the waters of the river, in the canyon.
