Domaine de Chanteraine

Make for the lake first to try out a nicely wide variety of watersports including swimming, sailing, canoeing and pedal boating, or stick to land in the countryside around Domaine de Chanteraine to have a go at horse riding, tennis or hiking. Many hikes are in the Verdon area, with some trails starting from the campsite entrance. We also recommend wanders around the villages of the Provence region, such as Moustiers, Sainte Marie, Tourtour, Aups and Villecroze, and delving into the area's culture at the Museum of Woodturners in Aiguines, the Museum of Prehistory of the Gorges du Verdon in Quinson and the ceramics museum in Salernes. And then there's that gorge. As well as the Museum of Prehistory, we highly recommend the Verdon Gorge's canyoning, its paragliding, its 1,500 or so climbing trails, its hiking and its fly fishing – although do spend a week or so gorged on all the options to pick your own very fave.
