Private Boat Picnic and Hidden Lavender Fields in Verdon

• I'll take you to one of my favorite spots in Gorges du Verdon, where I go with my family and friends.
• The best way to explore this unique place is by boat ride through the canyon, the biggest in all Europe. You'll drive your own little private electric boat and enjoy a picnic with some local wines.
• You can jump into the water or simply unwind while admiring the nature during this easy 2-hour ride on very calm water.
• Then we'll stop at a few lavender fields off the beaten path. If you're lucky, you'll be the only one strolling there and taking pictures. Their beauty is truly indescribable, even after the blooming period!
• The next stop is the perched village of Sainte-Croix, with its incredible view over Lake Sainte-Croix. Enjoy free time for a walk through the village or beach time by the lake.
• In case of bad weather, instead of the boat ride, I'll drive you to the charming village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie.
