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.

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.
