The Lac de Sainte-Croix is the biggest of five reservoirs with which the Verdon was tamed. It is used for energy production and drinking water supply. The Lac de Ste-Croix has developed into a bathing and surfing paradise, it may not be navigated by motor boats (except electrically operated ones).
The Lake of Sainte-Croix is a reservoir in Southern France that was formed by the construction, between 1971 and 1974, of a reinforced-concrete arch dam, the Sainte-Croix Dam. It marks the departmental border between Var to the southeast and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence to the northwest.
