YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT ST CROIX DU VERDON

You have sent us many questions about your stay in the village of Sainte Croix du Verdon. Here are our answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Which is the most beautiful village to visit around Lake Sainte-Croix and the Gorges du Verdon?

There are many splendid villages around Lac de Sainte-Croix and the Gorges du Verdon. Don't miss Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon, Esparron-de-Verdon and Aiguines, for example.

What's the most beautiful beach on Lac de Sainte-Croix?

There are several lovely beaches on Lac de Sainte-Croix. We particularly recommend the beach at Bauduen, with its turquoise waters. We also like the beach at Salles sur Verdon. You'll also find some pretty coves that are less frequented if you go around the lake, but we'll leave you to look for them, because if we list them on Provence Web, they'll be crowded with tourists, and that's not the point.

In which department is Lac de Sainte Croix situated?

The reason this question comes up so often is that Lac de Sainte-Croix straddles two départements, the Var and the Alpes de Haute Provence, which is a bit confusing for tourists when booking. The southern part of the lake is in the Var, while the northern part is in the Alpes de Haute Provence.

Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon or Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, the most beautiful village in France?

Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon may be a charming village, but it's Moustiers-Sainte-Marie that is regularly cited as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Don't miss out on a visit if you're on holiday in the Verdon.
