#AprilGoodDestinations2025 🚣🏻Lac de Sainte-Croix is ​​connected to the Gorges du Verdon. The turquoise and calm lake water is like an emerald, unforgettable at first sight. This is a paradise for canoe lovers, and we rented a pedalo to cruise on the lake, which was also very pleasant. There are steep cliffs on both sides of the canyon. I saw some French teenagers playing high cliff diving. The brave ones jumped into the water and were cheered by people on the boats on the lake. Some of them were still hesitant to jump into the water, but everyone kept clapping to encourage them. Some people even whistled to cheer them on. It was so joyful. - 🚣🏻 Leaving Holy Cross Lake, we passed a sea of ​​pink flowers on the way. I don’t know what kind of flowers they are. It’s a variety I’ve never seen before. It’s beautiful but has a not very pleasant smell. - ⛰️This time in the south of France, we also passed the spring town of Fontaine de Vaucluse, which is another secret place with flowing clear water and surrounded by green mountains. The small river that runs through the town is sourced from the Vaucluse Spring, the largest in France, and has abundant water. Sitting in the cafe by the river, you can see the green in front of you, hear the sound of the gurgling stream in your ears, and feel the cool breeze even in the midsummer. - 🍾In the small shop at the highway rest stop, I saw a lot of ration wine. France is really a paradise for wine, good and cheap. I want to drink every day in France and have no self-control at all

#JuneTravelSupportEvent 📍Verdon Gorge I rented a car from Lys and went to Verdon Gorge, which is called the Grand Canyon of Europe. Verdon Gorge was truly magnificent and beautiful scenery, and swimming underneath it was the best. The lake was really beautiful. I didn't think I would swim, but I had a great time because of the swimsuit I brought. If you are going to Lys, I highly recommend renting a car and going to Verdon. #NiceTravel #FranceTravel

Nestled in the heart of Provence, the Verdon Gorge is a natural wonder that will steal your heart and take your breath away. This magnificent canyon, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of Europe," is a testament to the sheer power of nature's artistry. 🌊 The jewel of the Verdon River, the gorge boasts stunning emerald-green waters that carve their way through towering limestone cliffs. It's a world of contrasts, where the tranquility of the river's flow meets the rugged intensity of the rocky terrain. 🚣♀️ Adventure seekers, this is your playground! Get ready for adrenaline-pumping experiences as you kayak or canoe through the crystal-clear waters, or hike along the jaw-dropping cliffs. The views from the trails will leave you in awe! 🌺 Nature enthusiasts, prepare to be enchanted by the unique flora and fauna that thrive in this pristine environment. The vibrant lavender fields, wild orchids, and the charming villages nearby make the Verdon Gorge a visual feast. Whether you're seeking outdoor thrills or a peaceful retreat, the Verdon Gorge has it all. It's a place where you can lose yourself in the grandeur of nature and find your own sense of wonder.

In addition to lavender, Provence is also famous for the Verdon Gorge, where the beautiful Verdon River is embedded like a blue ribbon in the winding canyon. Many French people proudly call it the most beautiful canyon. Due to the construction of the Sainte-Croix Dam, the river water is intercepted in the canyon, forming a blue lake, our destination for this trip, Lake Sainte-Croix. Starting from Avignon, it takes more than two hours to drive through the mountains to reach Lake Sainte-Croix. When standing on the Galetas Bridge and seeing it for the first time, the phrase "tears of an angel" suddenly popped into my mind. Due to the lighting, the lake appeared in a beautiful Tiffany blue color. This is a vacation paradise in the hearts of the French people. There are no fancy water activities on Lake Sainte-Croix, the only expense is renting a small boat from a rental company. Hiking, camping, rock climbing, diving, and kayaking are the mainstream activities here, and in order to protect the environment, the small boats on the lake are all human-powered except for a few electric ones. With the excitement of "this is what vacation is all about", I couldn't wait to rent a pedal boat and paddle on the lake. I recommend going upstream, passing through the Galetas Bridge, and playing upstream along the Verdon River. Looking up, both sides are cliffs, and the clear lake water passes through the steep rock walls on both sides. The towering cliffs block the hot summer sun, and when the boat is docked in a place with abundant water grass, the cool breeze in the canyon instantly relieves the heat. Watching young people climb up the cliffs and then jump into the lake while laughing, I couldn't help but admire the courage of foreigners and how exciting they play. The enthusiasm of the French people is also fully released here. Tip 1: The boat rental company provides electric boats, pedal boats, and kayaks. Electric boats are expensive and kayaks are not suitable for beginners. Therefore, pedal boats are the safest and most economical option for recreational boating. 2. Whether you know how to swim or not, it is recommended to wear a life jacket when swimming in the lake. The water is deep and cold, and there is a certain degree of danger. Safety comes first when traveling.

Welcome to the famous Verdon Gorge! In the heart of Provence, there is a route that brings you close to nature. It allows you to shuttle through the gorge, feel the beauty of Lake Sainte-Croix, and experience the ancient town hidden in the mountains. 1. Panoramic route of the northern line. On the north side, D952 connects Castellane to Lac de Sainte Croix. At the end of this road is the Sainte Croix Lake, which is the main route to experience the canyon. The canyon road is narrow, allowing you to experience the vastness of the canyon and the vertical steepness of the cliffs. Climbing all the way up to an altitude of 700 meters, you may also have the opportunity to see many bald eagles. 2. Panoramic route of the southern line. On the south side, I also recommend taking the D71 that connects Trigance and Aigines. It runs south along the Gorges du Verdon, and is much quieter with fewer cars than the D952. The panoramic views here are also very beautiful, whether it's at the Balcons de la Mescla on the Martell path or at the pass of Illoire. It's worth stopping and staying for a while. 3. The town of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. I am impressed by the beauty and charm of this village, which is located in the center of Verdon Park and ranks among "the most beautiful villages in France". When you first see Moustiers, the first thing that catches your eye is the cliff. The town is built on the mountain, and this small village exudes the atmosphere of Provence: the fragrance of lavender permeates the streets, and the maze-like alleys give you the opportunity to discover beautiful fountains, pottery shops, and more. The Notre Dame de Beauvoir chapel is located between the cliffs, and the climb to the church overlooks the entire town. This is the first time I have felt like I have found a paradise on earth. An impulse to stay. Navigation address: Place de l'Eglise 04360 Moustiers-Sainte-Marie Four, swimming in Lake Saint Croix. The Sainte-Croix Lake, built in the 19th century, is an artificial lake known for its emerald green water. I was really fascinated by its color. I sincerely recommend driving around the lake. Along the way, you can see beautiful villages by the lake... such as Bauduen and Aiguines. On the map, look for the small path down to the lake, have a picnic by the lake, go for a swim, and it's so comfortable. Another important activity on the lake is canoeing, and the boat rental point is at the Galetas Bridge. No input provided. Five, travel. The canyon has no buses, it is recommended to rent a car to go. You can plan to visit Sainte-Croix Lake and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie for one day, and drive along the lake, have a picnic and go boating on the second day. This trip can be combined with Valensole and Grasse to make a bigger circular tour. Sixth, accommodation. 1. Auberge des Salles is located across from Lake Sainte-Croix. This hotel is very comfortable and offers magnificent lake views! Address: 18 rue Sainte Catherine, 83630 Les Salles sur Verdon 2. Hotel and Spa des Gorges du Verdon located on the banks of the Verdon Gorge in La-Palud-sur-Verdon. It features a scenic swimming pool, a spa center, and modern decor.
