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.

A pretty village located in the heart of the Verdon gorges and lakes. From here many bike tours start. We will see paragliders if the wind is good as the site is well known for the sport!
