Day 1: Heading to Provence and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie
We set off early from the Campers Lamar base in Girona. We cross the French border via La Jonquera on the A9/A8 motorway towards Aix-en-Provence until we reach the heart of Haute Provence.
First stop: Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, listed among the most beautiful villages in France, hanging from a rocky cleft beneath a golden star.
Must-have photo: The cobbled alleyways with the cliffs in the background at sunset.
Recommended overnight stay: Camping Manaysse or the Moustiers-Sainte-Marie Motorhome Area (very convenient and close to the town center).
Day 2: The Impossible Blue of Lake Sainte-Croix
We dedicate the day to the spectacular Lac de Sainte-Croix, where the Verdon River flows into a lake of intense turquoise color.
Star activity: Rent a kayak, canoe, or pedal boat at the Galetas bridge to paddle the first kilometers into the heart of the canyon. An unforgettable experience!
Charming village: Visit the peaceful village of Bauduen on the southern shore.
Recommended restaurant: La Cascadel (Moustiers) or take advantage of the dining area with a view from your Lamar motorhome for an unforgettable picnic in front of the lake.
Recommended overnight stay: Camping Les Restanques (Bauduen) or Camping Saint Jean (Moustiers).
Day 3: The Spectacular Route des Crêtes (D23)
Today we drive along the famous D23 scenic road, which winds along the edge of the canyon with cliffs of more than 700 meters.
Campers Lamar tip: The Route des Crêtes is a loop and has one-way sections. Driving a motorhome here requires calm and attention; make use of the many pull-offs and viewpoints to take photos and let traffic pass.
Top photo spots:
Belvédère de la Dent d’Aire: Views of griffon vultures gliding over the canyon.
Point Sublime: One of the most impressive views in the entire natural park.
Recommended overnight stay: Camping L'Éden Road (Castellane) or Camping Verdon les Grands Domaines.
Day 4: Adventure in Castellane and Hiking
We arrive in Castellane, a beautiful town dominated by the Roc, an imposing cliff crowned by a chapel.
Hiking: If you enjoy walking, you can do a section of the famous Sentier Blanc-Martel or hike up to the Chapelle Notre-Dame du Roc (30-40 minutes on foot) to enjoy the definitive panoramic view of the area.
Local gastronomy: Don’t leave without trying lavender honey, artisanal goat cheeses (Tomme du Verdon), and the local jam at the Castellane market.
Recommended overnight stay: Camping Les Lavandins or the Castellane Service Area.
Day 5: Back to Girona with a Stop on the Coast
We begin the return journey, enjoying the trip at a relaxed pace.
En route stop: Make a stop in Collioure (southern France, almost at the border) to have lunch by the sea, photograph its iconic seaside bell tower, and stretch your legs before returning the vehicle.
Arrival: Return of the motorhome at the Campers Lamar facilities in Girona, with the camera full of memories!
