Comme souvent un sport extrême est au programme, j’ai nommé le… pédalo dans les gorges de Baudinard, situées juste à l’aval du barrage du lac de Sainte-Croix. Beaucoup moins connues que le grand canyon du Verdonc, elles offrent pourtant un bel encaissement dans leur extrémité amont, certes sur une petite centaine de mètres de hauteur, bien loin de l’ampleur de leur grand frère. La partie amont s’avère d’ailleurs la plus esthétique avec sa route d’eau vert émeraude enserrée entre des falaises de calcaire gris compact, parfois creusées de baumes et plaquées de draperies sous les dévers, mais aussi ses nombreuses cascatelles qui plongent depuis la forêt côté sud, donnant une ambiance tropicale incongrue au milieu de l’aridité des plateaux du Bas-Verdon.
Par contre l’eau reste bien froide car pompée dans le bas du lac de Sainte-Croix, là où la stratification thermique la protège du réchauffement solaire en surface, de quoi motiver une remontée baignade au lac de Sainte-Croix après la balade !
