Book your stay
You’ve chosen the Verdon gorges and lakes as your next holiday destination, but rain showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast? Don’t worry: there are plenty of activities and places to visit even when the weather is unpredictable. By choosing a stay at Camping L’Oasis du Verdon, you can still explore the region, even on rainy days. Here are some great ideas to make the most of a grey day.
When it rains, it’s the perfect time to watch a film that will introduce you to the region. You can head to the cinema at the congress centre in Gréoux-les-Bains to experience a 3D adventure that reveals everything about the Grand Canyon. The film “Verdon Secret” offers a powerful collection of stunning images of the gorges.
A must-do on a rainy day, visiting the village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie lets you discover all its charm. As you wander through its narrow streets, you can admire its church and beautiful fountains. If you’d like to take home a lovely souvenir, you can find one in one of the local shops.
Would you like to discover prehistoric Verdon? The Quinson Museum is an unmissable place for a complete immersion into the region’s prehistory. It is one of the largest museums in Europe. Perfect for a rainy day, this visit will allow you to explore the museum as well as its temporary exhibition. What’s more, the visit to the Baume Bonne cave is so engaging and interactive that it’s absolutely worth the detour.
This museum reveals the history of boxwood gatherers and brings their daily life to life. Here, you’ll discover the secrets of a trade that developed about 100 years ago alongside the game of pétanque. Craftsmen searched for boxwood to make studded boules. In the museum’s workshops, you can learn all about the different stages of this manufacturing process.
This activity is particularly interesting because it allows you to wait for better weather while making a fascinating discovery: the history of the Sentier Martel trail and the tunnels of the Samson corridor. You’ll learn everything about these tunnels and their original purpose.
Why not treat your taste buds to a gourmet break? Children and adults alike will find at the Maison de la Truffe options to suit every taste. You’ll also discover all the secrets of melanosporum through a range of quizzes and games. Here, the black truffle takes centre stage.
To end a rainy day in the Verdon on a high note, treat yourself to a relaxing stop at this hotel. The spa is perfect for pampering yourself and enjoying several types of treatments. You can also admire breathtaking views through the large picture windows of this wellness area.
