01
Departure from Sisteron
Here, Sisteron, gateway to Provence and its citadel which dominates the city. Mazes, buttresses, walls and watchtowers punctuate the sound-filled route before reaching the chapel and its promontory. From there a 360° view of the city and the surrounding area. At the end of the visit, we descend the alleys, the famous "andrônes" to the bank of the Durance to appreciate the view of the clue and the rock of Baume.
02
The Gorges de la Méouge
We leave the city, heading for Châteauneuf-de-Chabre and the Méouge gorges. This Natura 2000 listed site will offer us a welcome picnic and swimming spot. Then we climb to the top of Chabre to watch the sunset and spend a night under the stars.
03
The Laragne Treasure Hunt
The next day, on the road to Laragne and its large Provencal market. We find beautiful artisanal souvenirs there in a colorful atmosphere. We take advantage of this stop to do the treasure hunt, a walking circuit with puzzles offered by the Tourist Office.
04
The Lagrand Turkey Fair
Departure for Lagrand because there is a special festival there every year on September 9: The Turkey Fair allows the inhabitants of the surrounding valleys to stock up for the winter. Organized for nearly 8 centuries, it is the oldest fair in France! Today it is an agricultural and craft fair with an aïoli meal that we rush to reserve.
05
The via ferrata from Paturle to Orpierre
We're heading towards Orpierre and its cliffs. "Le village qui grimpe" has a new via ferrata with two routes, it will be for tomorrow.
The next day, under the gentle Provençal sun, “La via ferrata de la Paturle” kept its promise.
06
The priory of Saint-André-de-Rosans
We take the road again towards the charming villages of Saint-Cyrice, Villebois-les-Pins to reach the Reychasset pass, towards Saint-André-de-Rosans where a guided tour of the Priory awaits us.
07
Hiking in Rosans
In Rosans, we go hiking to the "Serre de l'aigle", an easy 2 hour loop. A night with the crickets at the Sainte-Catherine area refreshes us 30%.
08
The stop at Ribeyret
On this last day, we set off for Serres via Moydans, but we get a flat tire in Ribeyret! A charming lady and her husband help us out by lending us a jack. We set off again via L'Épine and Montclus!
09
Visiting the Little Town of Character®
Here we are in Serres, following in the footsteps of Lesdiguières, then we visit the fascinating Estanco Auto-Moto Museum. The return is already a must, but we stop at the Riou lake between coots and toads, the night promises to be peaceful…
10
Back to Sisteron
Already the end of the journey. We will keep very beautiful memories of the places and the inhabitants and end with a selfie in front of the “hashtag Sisteron”.
