Tucked along the northern shore of Lac de Sainte-Croix in the Verdon Regional Natural Park, Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon is a place whose character is shaped by the reservoir’s wide waters and the surrounding limestone terrain. The lake was formed in the 1970s when the Verdon was dammed at Sainte-Croix, creating a major inland-water landscape in Provence. Roads from the village connect with the upper Verdon country and the Gorges du Verdon, where the river has carved a deep limestone canyon. Stone houses gather on the slope above the shore, giving the settlement the compact layout typical of many Provençal villages.
