Discover Aiguines, a pretty Verdon village

A superb view of Lake Sainte Croix

Situated at the gateway to the Gorges du Verdon, above the superb Lac de Sainte Croix, Aiguines is a small village enjoying a privileged location nestling in the heart of a wild and grandiose natural setting, with spectacular views over the Lake Sainte Croix lake and the Verdon canyon (D71 and D23 roads).

Aiguines castle

Aiguines boasts a magnificent (privately-owned) Renaissance château. Superbly restored with its glazed tiles, it dominates the lake majestically and offers a remarkable view all the way to the Valensole plateau, the pre-Alps and the Luberon mountain range.

Pretty little streets and woodturning in the village

Lovers of crafts and woodwork can visit the wood-turning museum (open in July and August) and the village's many craft shops and workshops. They can also take the opportunity to explore the village's old streets, lined with charming old houses that give the village its authentic character.

Hiking, beach and sports activities in the Gorges du Verdon

Aiguines offers tourists, hikers and sports enthusiasts a wide range of activities to discover the beauty of the site and its nature up close. Here, everything is possible: those who prefer to laze on the beaches of Lac de Sainte Croix, while the more active can choose from climbing, white-water sports, aerial sports or simply pedalos or windsurfing.

Aiguines has become a regional climbing capital thanks to the many climbing routes in the area. Whatever your level, you can climb all year round.

In summer, you can opt for the routes on the north side, which are cooled and ventilated by the Gorges, while in winter, the routes on the west side are bathed in sunlight in the afternoon. Extreme sports enthusiasts can also enjoy bungee jumping from the Artuby bridge, the highest in Europe, with thrills guaranteed at 182 metres (April to November only).
