Things to see and do Moustiers Sainte-Marie

La Bastide de Valx is the flagship of the park, as it provides you with numerous books and information sheets. With its 1,000 km of hiking trails (including the famous Blanc-Martel trail), the landscape of the Verdon Regional Nature Park opens up like a picture book in a tormented relief, and tells 250 million years of geological history. The Verdon River, the backbone of the territory, has shaped its identity. The deep cuts of the Grand Canyon rub shoulders with the fullness of the Sainte-Croix and Esparron lakes and the vast lavender plateaus of the Pays de Valensole as well as the hills of the Haut-Var. Five artificial reservoirs, the lakes of Castillon, Chaudane, Sainte-Croix, Quinson and Esparron de Verdon, contribute to the beauty of this land. Visit its beautiful website, an almost inexhaustible source of information and images of splendid landscapes that will give you, no doubt, the desire to go there to admire these unique territories and so rich naturally, with your own eyes! And for the lovers of preserved nature, let's remember that they will be able to observe or to be next to a third of the French flora, so much its floristic wealth is unique. And the richness of its fauna is not in rest. The Great Bustard, the Griffon Vulture, the Ocellated Lizard (the largest in Europe) and 22 species of bats (out of the 32 listed in France) are an example of the animal diversity present.
