The water is truly as turquoise as in this photo, magnificent. I'd love to share some tips if I had any but sadly I didn't spend much time in this area. However, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is a stunning small village close to Verdon and is well worth a visit after a day exploring, swimming or climbing. #canyon #water #river #france #bucketlist](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6139599/53498c1a-b688-4770-b87e-cf99fa82deab.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Lac de Sainte Croix 30 min drive \- 11.2 miles - ![486138832](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6361356/14b8476d-903b-4fca-9de3-be8800f2eeb4.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Gorges du Verdon 46 min drive \- 18.2 miles - Place Frederic-Mistral 16 min walk \- 0.8 miles - Place Martin-Bidoure 16 min walk \- 0.8 miles - Historic Moustiers Sainte Marie 61 min drive \- 24.4 miles ### Getting around - Vidauban Station 43 min drive ### Restaurants - La Farigoulette 14 min drive - La Pizza 19 min walk - Restaurant Tourtour 14 min drive - Le Relais Saint Denis 14 min drive - La Gaudinette 8 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does IN THE HEART OF PROVENCE AND VERDON have a pool? ### Is IN THE HEART OF PROVENCE AND VERDON pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at IN THE HEART OF PROVENCE AND VERDON? ### What time is check-in at IN THE HEART OF PROVENCE AND VERDON? ### What time is check-out at IN THE HEART OF PROVENCE AND VERDON? ### Where is IN THE HEART OF PROVENCE AND VERDON located? ## Have a question?
