Departure from Les Salles-sur-Verdon (Var)
Here I suggest a variation on a route in Bauduen that is already on the site. The start is more easily accessible for hikers coming from the north. This variation also avoids the rocky area to the north-west of the route while offering beautiful views of Lake Sainte-Croix.

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.
