One of the most beautiful natural parcs in south of France with 3 big lakes connect with eachother with the river "Verdon" The most beautiful of the 3 lakes is "Lac de St.Croix" which is the end of Gorges du Verdon. The region has wonderful views from so many locations that you don't know where to start. Including the typical small french villages like Castellane and Saint Croix, which are absolutely worth a visit. Even after 14yrs visiting this region we still discover new views and villages.

Wonderful canyon experience in the heart of provence. Really worth the visit the route of cretes. With a lot of panoramic terraces on the canyon. Very interesting for birdwatching. At the end of the canyon you will join the saint croix lake. Blue pale water. There you can rent an electrical boat and spend the day in chill out on the lake. Really amazing experience. Really worth the visit also the cozy village with incredible view on the lake. Go definitely there.

This is one of the nicest places not only in France. Definitely worth visiting. South rim of Verdon Canyon has better views then north. Driving from Comps sur Artuby all the way around to Aiguines is a beatiful scenic drive. When you get to the beautifly colored lake St. Croix, head for a medieval village Moustiers St. Marie. At the shores of the lake (in the are around the bridge over Verdon river) is a possibility to rent a paddle boats. 5/5

Il s'agit d'un lieu qui vaut vraiment le détour !! En harmonie avec la nature les paysages au sein des gorges est à couper le souffle, en étant en haut comme en bas des falaises. Plusieurs sentiers accessibles depuis la route permet de descendre dans les gorges. Il faut compter environ 1 heure de descente et 2 heures pour remonter afin de réaliser ce type d'excursions. Puis on y retrouve le lac. Certaines personnes sautent depuis le pont routier donnant sur la transition lac/rivière. Il est interdit de sauter de celui ci mais les plus téméraires le fond quand même. Il faut prévoir dans ce cas une chute de 19 m (avec une paire de basket imperativement). Il est possible de louer bateau ou Pédalo pour aller dans le lac et remonter la rivière. Le temps maximale de location est de 2 heures. En pleine saison il faut compter 45 minutes d'attente. Les tarifs pour 2 heures sont de 80 euros pour un bateaux motorisé (il est cependant interdit de descendre du bateaux pour se baigner dans l'eau), 40 euros pour un Pédalo 4/5 personnes et 30 euros pour un Pédalo 2/3 personnes. Il est possible d'aller dans l'eau si on prend un Pédalo. Nombreuses sont les personnes qui ammarrent sur les rochers pour y faire des sauts. 4 sur 5 et pas 5 sur 5 à cause du monde (on est Pédalo sur Pédalo presque. A faire !

A recommendation for sure. A must see. It amazes me every time I visit. Take a boat trip down the gorges (in June the water level is really high so you can go deeper in the gorges but the water is way colder than at the end of july). I recommend you visit Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. Such a cute town with a church in the mountains you can walk up and visit. I also recommend the lavender fields (may/June/July) if you drive around the lake.

This is a beautiful place and a perfect location to experience the French culture and nature. The canyon is exquisite and the towns are small but pretty. The locals are typical French but they speak English quite well, in contrast to other parts of France. Driving around the canyon is a must, and hiring a boat to explore the canyon from the water also. Also don't forget to visit aguines and moustiers saint marie!
