The village's pretty beaches

Plage Saint Julien du Verdon

There are some lovely beaches on Lac de Castillon in Saint Julien du Verdon. We particularly like the Plage du Touron, very close to the village centre, where you can enjoy the turquoise waters and a wide range of water sports in summer (canoeing, kayaking, pedalo, paddle...). The beaches are very busy in summer, but very pleasant in spring and autumn. The temperature of the lake is very pleasant from May to October.

A good restaurant to recommend?

There aren't many restaurants in the village of Saint-Julien-du-Verdon itself. We tried "Le Pidanoux" but weren't totally convinced. Take your car and drive to the neighbouring village of Castellane to try the "L'Escapade" and "Côté Fontaine" restaurants, you won't be disappointed. If you have a good restaurant to recommend in Saint Julien, don't hesitate to write to us and we'll go and try it out for you.
