Lake Castillon

Highlight • Lake

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.

View of Lac de Castillon

Highlight • Viewpoint

After Saint-André-lès-Alpes, at the level of the Pic de Chamatte, the Verdon widens and takes the form of a beautiful expanse of turquoise water. It is a paradise for hikers, cyclists and climbers.

Castillon Dam

The Castillon dam was commissioned in 1948. With its 95 meters high and 200 meters wide, it is rather imposing! It also offers a great view of the Verdon.
