History

The Sentier Martel is named to honor the explorer Édouard-Alfred Martel who visited the Verdon in 1905 as an employee of the Southeast Electricity Company, carrying out precise geological surveys of the river. He and his team began an expedition of the region and  they discovered a narrow corridor which Martel named “Styx”. When they arrived at Imbut (meaning “narrow” or “funnel” in Provençal). This was the first expedition of the Verdon Canyon.
