Imagine wandering through a corner of France where time seems to have stood still. At the turn of a country lane, you’ll discover the Notre-Dame-de-Valvert chapel, a treasure trove of history and beauty nestled in a setting of Annot sandstone. Once the church of a Lérins priory, this chapel is distinguished by its austerity and lack of decoration. It is precisely this simplicity that gives it its irresistible charm. You’ll find yourself immersed in a peaceful atmosphere, where every stone breathes history. Listed as a historic monument in 1927, the chapel was restored in 1929, preserving its heritage for future generations.

What would Allos be without its lake? In the heart of the Haut Verdon valley, in the heart of the Mercantour National Park, lies Lac d’Allos, Europe’s largest natural mountain lake. Heir to the glaciers of the Quaternary era, dominated by Mont Pelat, its pure waters proudly reflect the peaks, enclosed in a natural cirque at an altitude of over 2,200 metres. To reach its banks, all you have to do is park your car at the Laus parking lot (the nearest one), then embark on a one-hour walk, with hiking boots on your feet and a rucksack slung over your shoulder. During the walk, you’ll pass through the hamlets of Villard and the Cluite forest. There are other parking lots for accessing the paths leading to the lake: the Cluite parking lot is a free alternative, located 4.5 km downstream, or Val d’Allos – the village offers a parking solution of last resort. As you can see, the length and difficulty of the hike to Lac d’Allos will vary depending on where you park.
Good to know: Swimming is strictly forbidden on Lac d’Allos.
