The wildest and most inaccessible of the artificial lakes of the Verdon, Lake Esparron de Verdon offers a magnificent landscape perfect for trips in electric boats. A calm and relaxing atmosphere reigns here. Ideal for tucking yourself away in one of the lake’s many coves—a little corner of paradise made up of beaches, green meadows, and peaceful inlets shaded by old oaks, olive trees, pines, and junipers.
Head toward the Gréoux-les-Bains dam, passing by scenery reminiscent of the Isle of Beauty. Quietly observe the fauna and flora of Lake Esparron de Verdon. Fully enjoy the tranquility of this part of the lake and its deep blue waters, passing by Saint Julien beach.
A tour lasting from 1h to 2h30 depending on your wishes.
