How TrustPaws verifies a hotel
A TrustPaws badge means we’ve checked more than a “pets allowed” box. For every certified hotel, we verify:
- The real pet policy and any fees — exactly what you’ll pay, with no surprises at check-in.
- Which room types pets can actually stay in.
- The welcome amenities genuinely provided — beds, bowls, treats, kits.
- How genuinely the staff and grounds are set up for animals.
If a hotel hasn’t met the standard, it isn’t certified — simple as that.
Getting to & around the Verdon with a dog
This is car country: the nearest stations are Manosque and Aix-en-Provence TGV, then an hour’s drive up through the plateau (on French trains, small dogs travel bagged at a flat fee, larger dogs leashed and muzzled at reduced fare). Once up, distances shrink: Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon and the lake beaches are fifteen minutes from Moustiers, the Galetas bridge viewpoint twenty, and the villages of Riez and Valensole within half an hour across the lavender. Park below Moustiers and walk up — the village is stepped, stone and pedestrian at its heart.
Best walks & places for dogs around Moustiers
Say it plainly, because the trailhead signs do: the Sentier Blanc-Martel — the Verdon’s celebrity gorge hike — does not admit dogs, and its ladders and tunnels would defeat them anyway. The Verdon with a dog is built elsewhere. Lake Sainte-Croix is the centrepiece: open shorelines around Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon and the Galetas end give leashed access and swimming room outside the supervised bathing zones — read the beach boards, and go early in August . Electric-boat and pedalo hire at the Galetas bridge commonly takes dogs aboard for the paddle into the gorge mouth — confirm with the base when you book. In the village, climb the 260-odd steps to the Notre-Dame-de-Beauvoir chapel under the famous star, lead on and water carried, then walk the plateau lavender tracks toward Valensole at golden hour when the coaches have gone.

Frequently asked questions
Can my dog hike the Blanc-Martel trail?
No — dogs are prohibited on the Blanc-Martel, and the route’s ladders and tunnels make the ban sensible as well as official. Take the lake and plateau walks instead; the views from the rim belvederes along the Route des Crêtes come dog-permitted on a lead.
Where can my dog swim in the Verdon?
Lake Sainte-Croix — the open shores outside the supervised bathing zones, with the Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon and Galetas ends the practical picks. Boards mark the swim-zone limits; mornings beat the August crowds.
Can we take a pedal boat into the gorge with the dog?
The hire bases at the Galetas bridge commonly accept dogs aboard electric boats and pedalos — confirm when you book, bring water and shade for the dog, and go at opening time in summer.
Do hotels in Moustiers charge a pet fee?
It varies — the village’s boutique houses often charge a modest nightly fee, farm-stays on the plateau usually do not. Every TrustPaws listing states the exact, verified policy and fee before you book.
