Midès Canyon

History of the place

The Midès canyon is a geological wonder sculpted by water for millennia. The stratified layers of rock tell millions of years of Earth's history. The abandoned village of Midès, destroyed by floods in 1969, overlooks this grandiose landscape. Its ghostly ruins add a touch of mystery and melancholy. The canyon has served as a natural setting for scenes from 'The English Patient' and 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark', attracting movie lovers and lovers of grandiose landscapes.
