Location & what to see
Aiguines is a Provençal village set on the heights above Lake Sainte-Croix, in the Var department. Its narrow streets and houses give Place de la Fontaine the feel of a lively small town, with shops and terraces. The village will appeal to travellers looking to explore the landscapes of the Verdon while staying in a small community away from the large coastal resorts.
The Musée des Tourneurs sur Bois showcases a craft tradition associated with the village, while Château d’Aiguines is a striking landmark in the local landscape. The shores of Lake Sainte-Croix are ideal for swimming and water sports; Chabassole Beach is 2.4 km away. The Verdon Gorge draws visitors looking for views, hiking and activities on the water. The Verdon Gorge boating route, 2.5 km away, lets you discover the area from the lake. Aiguines is accessible by road, with the A51 motorway serving as the main route to the area; a car makes it easier to travel between the villages and the various access points to the lake.
In summer, you can spend the day swimming, strolling around the village and exploring the gorge. Spring and early autumn offer another opportunity to explore the trails and scenic roads, usually with fewer visitors than in summer. For a day trip, you can combine time by the lake with a visit to nearby Verdon villages, then return to Aiguines for an evening on the square.
