Walking tour of the Sainte-Croix lake: Stage 3 - Baudinard-sur-Verdon - Bauduen
BAUDINARD-SUR-VERDON
The walking tour of the Sainte-Croix lake takes you on a journey through time and water. It invites you to feel the spirit of the place as you meet 6 villages whose destiny was turned upside down by the building of a dam in the 1970s.
This is a stage that offers some very fine views of the lake, some as close as you can get to the water. You'll cross the Sulagran site, owned by the Conservatoire du Littoral, and enjoy a succession of superb views over Bauduen. At the end of the itinerary, you'll walk along the lake all the way to the Bauduen creek and stop off at the village. The hike can be done in both directions.
When the lake level is high, the practicability of this path may be affected (parts flooded, mud, etc.). It may be necessary to temporarily change to a parallel path (if available) or return to the starting point.

Sulagran path
Before the Sainte-Croix dam was filled with water in 1974, Sulagran was the name of a hill that dominated the hamlet of Fontaine-l’Évêque, located around the Sorps spring, then one of the most important resurgences in France.
Véris trail
The Véris trail could be called the trail of the senses, both your eyes and your sense of smell will be put to the test. You will discover a rich and varied vegetation, the smells of aromatic plants, without forgetting the view of the blue waters of the lake.
