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

Highlight • Monument

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.

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.
