Lake Castillon

Highlight • Lake

Lake Castillon results from a water reservoir at the Cheiron hill. When the dam was installed, water engulfed the village of Castillon and the Saint-Julien bridge.

This lake with azure waters is perfect for cooling off.

The Castillon dam was commissioned in 1948. With its 95 meters high and 200 meters wide, it is rather imposing! It also offers a great view of the Verdon.
