The area of Saint-Laurent-du-Verdon stretches from the riverbanks to the Valensole plateau. What a beautiful setting for a walk amidst the blue of the lavender fields and the blue of the lakes created by the construction of the Quinson dam. And if, on top of that, the sky is at its best, what a symphony of blues!
