The smaller Lac de Chaudanne is less known by the general public but it’s certainly worth it for a romantic picnic or to onjoy the serene silence. Fishermen can work overtime here, the size of the carps and pikes in this lake barely fit on a photo. You can also go exciting fly fishing a few hundred meters from the house. (movie fishing) 

On the north side of Lac du Castillon is the village Saint-Andre-les-Alpes. Here you find paragliding club Aérogliss. The can offer a view you will never forget. (movie paragliding)
