We follow the course of the VERDON to the SAINTE CROIX lake.
This reservoir is the fourth largest in France in terms of surface area (around 2,200 ha). The lake has become a center of summer tourism, it is very popular for aquatic leisure activities, and for
its beautiful turquoise waters. There are many pedal boats and various boats from June to September.
