Beauvezer, a village beautiful to behold

Highlight • Other

This pretty village of Haute Provence perched on a mound dominating the banks and the valley of the Verdon, takes its name from the Occitan, bèl and vezer, meaning "beautiful to see"; and this is the case... The small town experienced a major economic boom in the 19th century with the installation of textile industries dedicated to wool weaving and which continued until the middle of the 20th century. From this period it retains beautiful imposing buildings, and in particular the Maison des Produits de Pays du Haut Verdon, which combines mountain architecture with the colors of Provence. You may appreciate the small square next to the church which also houses the town hall, the pétanque courts and a grocery store. All the mythology of the small French village...
You can see the village emerging from the hillside and the trees from the main road along the Verdon, but it deserves a little detour to discover its narrow streets.

Lake Castillon

Highlight • Lake

Lake Castillon results from a water reservoir at the Cheiron hill. When the dam was installed, water engulfed the village of Castillon and the Saint-Julien bridge.

This lake with azure waters is perfect for cooling off.

The tunnels are very short but it is better to have lights.

Lake des Sagnes

Highlight • Lake

Located in the commune of Thorame-Haute, Lac des Sagnes is a hillside lake created in the 1960s by a group of farmers in order to have a water reservoir for watering the village's crops.

This lake attracts walkers for its tranquility and pastoral landscapes, but also fishermen. Fishing is authorized there provided you have a specific card.

This preserved place is home to specific wetland flora and fauna. Swimming is prohibited there.
