Nestled between the dramatic landscapes of the Verdon Gorge and the Valensole plateau, the man-made Lake of Sainte-Croix (Lac de Sainte-Croix) is a favored vacation spot in Provence. The lake’s sandy beaches and water temperatures similar to those of the Mediterranean Sea make it an appealing summer destination. Visitors can enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere here compared to the bustling French Riviera, with ample opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and taking in the serene surroundings.
