Description
Situated on a hillside overlooking the lake of St. Croix is the village of Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon in Provence, France. It's a wonderful haven of peace in a landscape of striking beauty. The village curled up on itself enjoys an amazing location.
Perched on the hillside at 513 meters above sea level, the village moved to the shores of the lake in the 16th century. Traces of its existence date back to Prehistory. The Middle Ages were marked by the bishops of Riez who baptized the commune with its current name. The village blossomed quietly as it was relatively untouched by the successive wars.
The agriculture of the olive tree has held a prominent place for millennia, while nowadays lavender is what helps to bring tourism to the area.
The place is conducive to relaxation, idleness and nature activities - what more could you ask for?
