The tour of the Esparron lake

The first of the five steps of this roaming from Gréoux-les-Bains, is short and presents no particular technical difficulty if not the climb on the crests of Jas de Laube which allows to join the opposite side the village of Saint -Martin-de-Brômes The 2nd day begins with the crossing of the oppidums celto Liguria and then walk on the hills where splendid views of the dam and Lake Esparron are revealed. The 3rd step, easier than the previous one, allows on the heights to easily reach Esparron-de-Verdon and Quinson. The 4th stage, the longest and most technical, rushes into the lower gorges then goes up the left bank of the Verdon on the plateau of Mallasoque. The route then passes to the hamlets of Bernes and Rouvières, to finally reach the medieval village of Saint-Julien le Montagnier, perched on its rocky peak. The last long step and also physical, returns to the banks of Lake Esparron. The overhanging passage of the banks on the old channel, makes it possible to reach Saint-Julien beach. Then the route goes up on the heights, reaches the chapel Notre Dame des oeufs and finally switches to Gréoux-les-Bains, the end of the trip.
