Local tips & secrets in Bauduen
- to avoid A quieter village on the south shore of the lake. To escape the main beach, crowded in summer, continue to the end of the road running alongside the village: a series of more discreet beaches lines the banks. — lesgorgesduverdon.fr / lacs-gorges-verdon.fr
- little-known spot The clear bottom, shallow for several metres, is well suited to snorkelling and watching aquatic wildlife. Bring a mask and snorkel. — lacs-gorges-verdon.fr
- family In high season, swimming is supervised on the main beach, generally from 11:00 to 18:00, with a lifeguard post: reassuring for coming with the family. — lacs-gorges-verdon.fr
- local tip A medieval village clinging to the cliff: take the time for the lane and the esplanade by the water rather than heading straight to the beach. The Provençal atmosphere is preserved here. — verdonsecret
- local tip Kayak, paddleboard and electric boat hire right nearby: handy for paddling to the neighbouring coves without a car. — lacs-gorges-verdon.fr
