A veritable turquoise-blue corner of paradise, this lake covers 2,200 hectares, making it the 3rd largest lake in France. If you like water sports, you’ll love it! Canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, pedal-boating and electric boating are just some of the ways you can enjoy this unique setting.
With a view over the Gorges du Verdon, you can embark on a captivating exploration from the shores of the lake and contemplate the millennia-old work of water and rock. Whether by canoe or pedalo, this experience offers you a true reconnection with the immensity of nature. You can also take a step up to the famous Pont du Galetas for a close-up view of the Gorges du Verdon.
There are several beaches within easy reach by car, where you can wade safely in the crystal-clear waters of Lac de Sainte Croix, with or without children. If you prefer a wilder, more peaceful setting, choose the beach at Bauduen, with its coves and expanses of pebbles, or opt for the beach at Cadeno, where deckchairs are available for sunbathing, lulled by the song of the cicadas. Surrounded by lavender, pine and garrigue, you can also spend the day at Les Salles sur Verdon. Its peaceful atmosphere and clear waters make it the perfect place for swimming and relaxation.
