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 13 min drive \- 4.7 miles - Riez Temple of Apollo 5 min drive \- 2.2 miles - Verdon 20 min drive \- 7.1 miles - Historic Moustiers Sainte Marie 24 min drive \- 12.3 miles - Chapelle Notre Dame de Beauvoir 24 min drive \- 13.0 miles ### Getting around - Mézel/Châteauredon Station 40 min drive ### Restaurants - Cote Jardin 18 min drive - Le Central 3 min drive - Les Magnans 17 min drive - Le Restaurant de la Bastide 18 min drive - Mamacita 7 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Gite Olivier, Ferme Bel Air, Riez pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Gite Olivier, Ferme Bel Air, Riez? ### What time is check-in at Gite Olivier, Ferme Bel Air, Riez? ### What time is check-out at Gite Olivier, Ferme Bel Air, Riez? ### Where is Gite Olivier, Ferme Bel Air, Riez located? ## Have a question?
