Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon is a pretty little village very typical of the region. His little extra thing? An incredible view of Lake Sainte-Croix!

On one side, the Verdon and the Sainte-Croix dam, and on the other, the Sainte-Croix lake. This is an incredible spot where it is good to get off the bike and simply admire the view from both sides of the bridge!

Along the Lac du Sainte-Croix there are some steep and long uphill sections. Sufficient fitness is therefore a prerequisite. Otherwise, the roads are easy to drive on, which can also be seen from the many cyclists (racing bikes, gravel bikes, full bikes).

Very nice, difficult round trip, like the one we did.

Always nice the round around the Lac de St-Croix. In places you think you are in the Caribbean. The loop is easy to ride on a normal bike, but there are some tough climbs in Moustiers-Saintes-Marie and Les Croix du Verdon. Today I borrowed an e-bike for the first time.
