5. Lac de Sainte-CroixSainte Croix Du Verdon The Lake of Sainte-Croix is a man-made lake that was formed by the construction, between 1971 and 1974 of a reinforced-concrete arch dam by the name of Dam of Sainte-Croix. The reservoir holds a maximum of 761 million cubic metres of water. The dam, which generates 142 million kWh of electricity per year, is 94 metres high, 7.5 metres thick at its base and 3 metres thick at its crest. The village that can be seen adjacent to the lake, however, is not the eponymous village of Sainte-Croix-de-Verdon but Les Salles-sur-Verdon. The original village is now completely underwater. The other villages around the lake are: Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon Bauduen Les Salles-sur-Verdon From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Le Trou de Bozouls in The South of France Sits at The Top of a 300ft-Deep Horseshoe-Shaped Canyon
The town of Bozouls in the south of France sits on the edge of a huge canyon that's around 300 feet deep. The unique geography of the area came about 2 million years ago when glaciers advanced and receded. Over the years this and the ebb and flow of rivers slowly eroded the rock, creating a huge gouge.
The town of Bozouls is one place you'd never want to find yourself stumbling around late at night in without a torch.
The commune in the Aveyron region of south France sits at the top of a 300ft-deep horseshoe-shaped canyon, known locally as 'le Trou de Bozouls'.
The unique geography of the area came about two million years ago, when a turbulent time in global temperatures resulted in glaciers advancing and receding, and rivers rising and falling.
The town of Bozouls is built on a limestone plateau and the river Dordeau de Conques runs straight through it.
Over the years, the ebb and flow of the water has slowly eroded the rock, creating a huge gouge in the landscape.
Bozouls' geographical location made it a natural defensive stronghold.
Thanks to the protective lay of the land, humans have built settlements in the area for thousands of years, using the limestone rock to create their dwellings.
Making the most of the natural defence that the canyon provided, a castle was built in the 9th century, but only its ruins remain today.
The town is only accessible from the south and in medieval times this route was monitored 24 hours a day by guards in two medieval towers.
Nowadays, the 12th century Ste Fauste church is the most famous building, where it sits right on the edge of the cliff above the river.

île de Port-Cros, Les îles d'Hyères (notrebellefrance, site naturel maritime)
Port-Cros est incontestablement la plus sauvage des 3 îles de l'archipel des Iles d'Or, mais également la plus montagneuse. Dotée de falaises abruptes l'île est boisée de pins d'Alep et de chênes-verts et on découvre une faune maritime exceptionnelle. Pour la découvrir, le sentier sous-marin de la plage de La Palud est à ne pas manquer ! Le Parc national de Port-Cros est le premier parc national marin en Europe, il a été créé en décembre 1963. En empruntant un sentier botanique balisé, on rencontre plusieurs forts, témoins de l’histoire de l’île.
La beauté des paysages, la richesse des biotopes terrestres et marins, la fonction de halte pour les oiseaux migrateurs, font de Port-Cros un site naturel exceptionnel.
