Montagnac-Montpezat walks

Discover the Baudinard Gorges and the unique colour of the Verdon with its many caves. You will climb to higher ground and enjoy numerous panoramic views: the most beautiful in the Var with its lakes, mountains, forests and dams.

Two magnificent viewpoints over the Gorges du Verdon (downstream from Lac de Sainte-Marie).

A splendid hike starting from the Château de Saint-Laurent-Du-Verdon, which is private property. Do not enter the château grounds. You will walk along forest paths, skirting part of the Verdon Gorge and part of Lake Artignosc, as well as magnificent green meadows and fields of lavender in bloom from mid-June to mid-July. This is an easy hike, ideal for beginners and occasional walkers

A very pleasant route starting from Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon with views of the Verdon.

The territory of Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon stretches from the banks of the river to the Valensole plateau. What a beautiful setting for a walk between the blue of the lavender and the blue of the lakes created by the construction of the Quinson dam. And if the sky is at its best, what a symphony of blues!

Hike along the Baudinard-sur-Verdon Gorges, on cliffs 100 to 150 m high plunging into turquoise blue water. Then return via the Museau de la Colline, offering numerous breathtaking views of the Lac de Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon, to finally arrive at the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Baudinard with its belvedere overlooking the lake. Not to mention a visit to the village of Baudinard-sur-Verdon.

A pretty walk off the beaten path. The views are breathtaking in diverse landscapes, all from the beautiful little hilltop village of Artignosc-sur-Verdon.

Very nice course with beautiful views of Lake Sainte-Croix.

A very enjoyable loop on the peninsula of Bauduen alongside Lake Sainte Croix.

Wonderful hike through the Lower Verdon Gorges, starting in Quinson.

A walk around Quinson, to be done before or after a visit to the Prehistory Museum.

A circular route between Quinson and Lac d'Artignosc, passing on both sides of the Verdon. Walk along tracks and small paths with views of the Verdon at various points and of the villages of Quinson and Artignosc. Return via the Baume Bonne cave and the view of the Quinson dam.

Explore the turquoise waters of the lower Verdon Gorge by canoe, kayak or electric boat.

On this hike you will be rewarded with beautiful views into the village of Esparron-de-Verdon and across to the hills of the Verdon Canyon. Enjoy the flowers, butterflies and olive trees as well as an optional visit to see the village chateau and church.

The Valensole plateau enjoys exceptional light and unique colours that shine particularly brightly in summer: fields of lavender, clary sage, wheat, olive trees and sunflowers against a backdrop of blue mountains attract many photographers. Moderator's note: route modified on 21/06/2023 at points 4 to 6 to avoid Monroc, which is private property and off-limits despite thePR® sign.
