Lake Castillon and Lake Chaudanne are exceptional destinations for their turquoise waters inviting water activities, their spectacular landscapes and the soothing tranquility they offer visitors in search of nature and relaxation.

Jewel of Castellane

Castillon lake

Located in the heart of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Lake Castillon is a turquoise pearl nestled in a mountain setting, near the center of Castellane. This artificial lake, created in 1948 following the construction of the Castillon dam on the Verdon, has become over the years an essential destination for nature lovers and outdoor activity enthusiasts.

Lake Castillon or Chaudanne?

We recommend favoring Lake Castillon! Unlike Chaudanne (where swimming is prohibited), Lake Castillon benefits from the Cheiron Bay beach with parking, restaurants, supervised swimming area, pedal boat rentals, paddle, picnic table accessible for people with reduced mobility (PRM)…

Lake Chaudanne is very beautiful and will be more coveted by fishermen for the calm that reigns there. But the places are neither equipped nor secure.

Fishing on Lake Castillon or Chaudanne

LThe waters of the lake also attract fishermen, who can find trout, pike and perch there. Fishing from the banks (for PRMs, there is a pontoon on Lake Castillon) or by boat is a popular activity, particularly early in the morning or at the end of the day, when the lake is calmest.
