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 retreat, or even a couple’s happy hour.
And for an even more laid-back getaway: reading in peace and taking a nap in the shade!
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.

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!

On your way back from the market, enjoy the laid-back lifestyle of our Provençal villages with an aperitif on a terrace—whether it’s a local beer, chilled rosé, or fruit juice from our valleys…
The bell tower chimes noon and the sound of the fountain lulls you; savor the moment—there’s no rush!
Our favorite: Cordeil craft beer, brewed in the heart of the Haut-Verdon.

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.
Fill up on energy, clear your head, switch off and think about something else.
Live in the moment and let yourself be carried away.
Stop thinking about time, so you don’t have to, and enjoy the passing of time.
