A Day on the Waters of the Verdon

Discover one of France's most spectacular natural landscapes, where wonderful cliffs meet crystal-clear waters

Escape the city for a full-day journey dedicated to exploring the breathtaking Gorges du Verdon from the water, one of Europe's most spectacular natural wonders. Traveling from Aix-en-Provence in a comfortable private van with your driver-escort, enjoy a scenic drive through the Provençal countryside before arriving at Lac de Sainte-Croix, the turquoise lake at the mouth of the gorge where your day on the water begins. Kayaks, pedal boats, and electric boats await to take you into the heart of the canyon, beneath its dramatic limestone cliffs.

Here, the Verdon is best experienced from the water itself. Rent a kayak and paddle into the heart of the canyon, glide across the lake on a pedal boat, or hop aboard an electric boat to drift beneath the towering cliffs. No advance booking is required, simply choose your craft on arrival and set your own rhythm for the day, though reservations can be arranged in advance if you prefer. However you choose to explore it, the water offers the most striking and unforgettable perspective on this remarkable landscape.

Between time on the lake, take a break to admire the panoramic views from Pont du Galetas, relax along the shore, or wander into the picturesque villages and charming cafés nearby. Whether you spend the day paddling into the gorge, cruising the turquoise waters, or simply soaking up the scenery, this excursion offers an unforgettable way to experience one of Provence's most iconic landscapes before returning comfortably to Aix-en-Provence.
