DAY FARNIENTE At Lake Esparron de Verdon

One hour (as the crow flies...) from Aix en Provence is the pretty village of Esparron de Verdon.

The perfect day starts early as the ideal arrival time in the lower gorges would be before 10am so that you can park and find a nice spot, not far from the edge of the lake with its small beach and coves. You will pass through fields of lavender and olive trees.

Yes, you are in Provence.

If it's a Sunday, make a stop in Vinon sur Verdon and buy your picnic at the local flavour market.picnic, swimming costume, sun cream and towel, board games, outdoor games: these are the essentials for this day.you can have a coffee break in the village before taking the road to put your towel down

For this relaxing day with family and friends, everyone is free to do what they want: go on a pedal boat, electric boat, canoe or paddle in search of the perfect creek for an hour or two or more.
