Bauduen,view of the lake of Sainte Croix and the marina
Located on the banks of the pure and calm waters of the Lac de Sainte Croix,the old medieval village of Bauduen rises in an arc from a hill facing the lake of Sainte Croix, which gives it a magnificent panoramic view.
Bauduen is one of the remarkable sites of the Verdon Natural Park of which it is a part and which deserves a stop.
Bauduen, the village
Bauduen is a typically Provençal Village, with its narrow streets which will charm your visit.
By walking in the shaded and pedestrian streets for the most part, you will discover the old stone houses of the village which offer a beautiful unity of colors of roofs..
Bauduen, into the village
You will come across fountains and a pretty wash-house, charming old façades with flowered windows and colored shutters washed out by the sun. You will come across some vestiges of the ramparts and beautiful Renaissance style doors.
You will pass in front of the sundial (XIX °) on which you can read "Nec pluribus impar" that is to say "Above all" which was the motto of Louis XIV, the Sun King in all his legendary modesty...
Bauduen, pontoon on the lake with sailboats
