Bauduen

Highlight • Settlement

Big favorite for Bauduen, which is a magnificent village on the edge of the lake of Sainte-Croix. It's a pleasure to wander through its alleys and admire its superb stone houses. You will find a few small shops, cafes, and restaurants.

Narrow Lakeside Trail at Lac de Sainte-Croix

Highlight • Trail

Narrow walking path along beautiful spots on the lake. Just a little too narrow for mountain biking, ideal for walking.

Lake Sainte-Croix

Highlight • Lake

At the exit of the Verdon Gorge, where the Verdon emerges from one of Europe's deepest canyons, you reach the Lac de Sainte-Croix. The reservoir is located in the Verdon Regional Natural Park and is one of the largest reservoirs in France. Today, you can swim, surf, or glide across the water with a sailboat or electric boat here. The beaches are mostly natural and consist of gravel or stones instead of sand.

Beach at Lac de Sainte-Croix

Highlight • Beach

Incredibly beautiful swimming spot! Very good for cooling off during the hike. Very few to no people, so you can enjoy a refreshment even without swimwear. ;)

A very nice walk with some difficult parts which need good walking shoes and a healthy condition. The reward are beautiful views.
April 23, 2024,Bauduen – Lac de Sainte-Croix boucle au départ de Bauduen
Very nice hike with a difficult, very steep passage in the rocks 100m uphill then 100m downhill at the edge of the lake. This didn't pose a problem for me despite my vertigo.
