The art of doing nothing…

Take the time to discover the Verdon in its farniente version!

Feet in the water

Looking for a dip in the Provence sun? Lake Castillon awaits you for a moment of relaxation. Enjoy the emerald waters, supervised beaches and numerous leisure facilities at the foot of the Verdon mountains.

On the agenda for your weekend for two: relaxing by the water, strolling through the markets, a wellness break or a duo aperitif.

And for an even more relaxing stay: quiet reading and a siesta in the shade!

Stroll through the markets of Provence

Take the time to explore our local markets, an unmissable opportunity to share the flavors and scents of Haute-Provence.

Discover the colorful stalls and fill your shopping basket. Local cheeses, charcuterie, olives, seasonal fruit, honey – the hardest part will be choosing.

Did you know?

The word pénéqué means nap in Provençal.

And yes, napping in Provence is quite an art! Under a tree or in a deckchair, the sun warms but not too much, a little air moves the leaves of the trees, the birds whistle in the distance, you’re sure to find the perfect spot!

Aperitifs on the terrace

On your return from the market, enjoy the relaxed lifestyle of our Provencal villages for an aperitif on the terrace with local beer, fresh rosé or fruit juice from our valleys…

The bell tower rings at midday and the water from the fountain lulls you to sleep. Savor the moment, there’s no rush!

Our favorite: Cordeuil craft beer, made in the heart of the Haut-Verdon region.

Outdoor picnic

With your basket filled with local produce, enjoy a simple gourmet break in the heart of unspoilt nature! In the Gorges du Verdon, on the shores of Lac de Castillon or in the heart of the Mercantour, you’ll find the perfect place to set up your tablecloth and enjoy the moment.
