Gréoux-les-Bains lies downstream of the Basses Gorges du Verdon, at their eastern end: it doesn't take long for the river to become a tributary of the Durance, and change course. Not far from the pleasant Lac d'Esparron, the Verdon takes on a much less rugged appearance and a more gentle flow. Gréoux-les-Bains has two faces: that of an old Provencal village, with all the attributes that make up the intrinsic charm of the region. And that of a spa, where people come to take the waters, as the Romans did as far back as the 1st century AD! Gréoux-les-Bains is ideally situated for exploring the less-frequented and more peaceful parts of the Verdon region: the wild Basses Gorges as far as Quinson, the small beaches of Lac d'Esparron, the Valensole plateau and its lavender fields, before reaching Lac de Sainte-Croix, Moustiers and the famous Verdon Canyon.
