Day 3 - entering Verdon

We ended our stay in the calanques with a morning swim in calanque Samena, just a few steps from our b&b. It was super refreshing, though we didn't start out long because the current was very strong.
Then we drove out to the Verdon region. Our hotel was by Lac St Croix - a lake with amazingly green blue waters. Our room had a terrace with a fantastic view.
We rented a kayak further down on the lake and kayaked into the Gorge du Verdon - aka grand canyon of France. The water was a gem stone green (due to its mineral content) and super refreshing. The canyon gorgeous as we kayaked down. At the end, we parked the kayak and took a cool and invigorating swim.








We had dinner at le Cote Lac, a lake side restaurant a few minutes from our hotel. We had a great view of the lake as we ate and watched the sunset. It was also cool that our table was made private by gave its own private hedges enclosing it on 3 sides.
