2025 Aiguines Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

I really like the sunny scenery between the lake and the mountains The blue sky, the clear lake, the lush trees People lazily play in the water, sunbathe... Here, time passes very slowly It allows me, who is impatient, to slow down, Think about how to live my life. 🌉The Sainte-Croix dam, built in 1974, blocked the water of the Verdon River in the valley, forming the second largest reservoir in France, named Lake Sainte-Croix. The entire lake covers an area of about 22 square kilometers, and the deepest part of the lake is 90 meters. 🌊The blue lake forms a bright landscape line, the clear lake water is adjacent to the steep cliffs, the gentle beach and the dense forest are companions, all the beautiful scenery here reminds people of the fairyland paradise. There are cliffs, babbling streams, clear lake water, and more continuous mountains. It is a good place to embrace nature. Lake Sainte-Croix is very close to the ceramic town, it takes twenty minutes by car, and it can be arranged for a day trip. Remember to overlook at Pont du Galetas, the refreshing comfort that comes on the face, the relaxed and lazy holiday vibe, the scenery is so beautiful that it is speechless. 🚗Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself, there is a free parking lot, RV camp 🎫No tickets

Lake Sainte-Croix, also known as Lake Sainte-Croix, is located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department of France on the southwestern edge of the Alps. Lake Sainte-Croix is ​​an artificial lake formed by the reinforced concrete arch dam built between 1971 and 1974 to form the Sainte-Croix Dam. Its water comes from the Verdon River at the outlet of the Verdon Gorge, as well as natural rainfall. The reservoir's maximum water storage capacity is 761 million cubic meters. The dam is 94 meters high, 7.5 meters thick at the bottom and 3 meters thick at the top, and can generate 142 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. The village of Les Salles-sur-Verdon, destroyed by the construction of a reservoir, was rebuilt and is now located on the shore of the lake. Other villages around the lake are Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon and Baudouin. France has a long coastline, but lake resources are very scarce, so the lake scenery, which is not very worthwhile to see, is infinitely magnified. Of course, it's okay to take a look at it along the way, but if you deliberately take a detour for more than an hour, I personally think it's not worth it. After all, the lakesides in Italy, Austria and Switzerland, which belong to the Alps, are much more beautiful than Lake Holy Cross. #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #EuropeTour #EuropeTourism #France #FranceTravel #FranceTourism #Alps #Lake #Mountain
