Located on the Gréoux road, this place offers a clear view of Lake Experron. The place is magnificent and worth a little stop!

Lake Esparron-de-Verdon

Highlight • Lake

The lake of Esparron-de-Verdon, with an area of 328 hectares, is one of the wildest lakes in the Verdon.

It has multiple creeks and cliffs as well as gorges. It is the ideal starting point for exploring the Gorges du Verdon, with towns such as Gréoux-les-Bains and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie nearby.

The lavender festival takes place in Valensole in early July. We recommend coming a couple of weeks before, to be able to admire the lavanza in its splendor (more saturated colours).
Circular tour, starting from the Vinon sur Verdon bridge. The route is quite easy, except for a steep stony slope of about 250 meters where you have to push the bike trying to advance on the crumbling pebbles. The route is almost entirely away from traffic, along quiet streets. Excellent dirt roads.
