Baudinard-sur-Verdon is a small Provençal village in the Haut-Var, amid the hills and garrigue landscapes surrounding Lake Sainte-Croix. The lanes in the village centre and its church give the visit a peaceful feel; the pace changes with the seasons and activity in neighbouring villages. This countryside suits travellers who want to alternate walks, swimming and visits to villages rather than spend their stay in a large city.

Lake Sainte-Croix offers beaches and scenery for swimming, walks and water sports. Bauduen, on the lake shore, is a place to stroll through a Provençal village and enjoy the water's edge. The Verdon Gorge attracts hikers and visitors looking for viewpoints and canoe trips, depending on the area they choose. Artignosc-sur-Verdon is another village to discover nearby. A car makes it easier to get between these places, beaches and walking routes; public transport is limited in the immediate area.

In summer, the days are well suited to swimming and excursions, but the area around the lake is also busier. Spring and early autumn often bring pleasant temperatures for walking and visiting villages in quieter surroundings. A day can start with a walk around Baudinard, continue at a lake beach, then end with a visit to the gorge or a neighbouring village. In hot weather, it is best to plan outdoor activities for the morning and keep the sunniest hours for a break by the water.
