The Esparron-de-Verdon lake
Smaller, but also wilder, the lake of Esparron nestles in a splendid setting, bordered by hills carpeted with pine trees. Numerous nautical activities are offered: you can rent an electric boat, a pedal boat, a canoe or kayak, a paddle… You can also simply swim and enjoy the freshness of its intense blue waters, with an exceptional purity.
The Verdon Natural Park
The Verdon Regional Nature Park has many faces, with its varied territories and landscapes: the Gorges du Verdon, impressive and wild, the Artuby, the hills of the Haut-Var, the lake of Sainte-Croix, the lakes and mountains, where pastoralism is still practiced, the Valensole plateau, the low gorges, watered by the now docile waters of the Verdon… There are many nature activities: hiking, Nordic walking, cycling, horse riding, via ferrata, climbing, tree climbing… Men have occupied these lands for thousands and thousands of years and have handed down to us a rich architectural heritage: oil mills, windmills, grain mills, medieval castles, oppidums, churches, chapels, oratories? Mountain agriculture is dynamic in the Verdon. The local markets and village grocery stores will invite you to discover local flavors: honey, goat’s cheese, lamb meat, vegetables and fruit, farm produce, olive products (oil and pasta), liqueurs, lavender…
