The Vallée du Jabron meanders through the heart of the western foothills of the French Alps, tightly embraced by mountains to the north and south. The Petit Train du Picodon once ran through the countryside from 1893 to 1936, a train that exuded more romance than speed at just under 15 km/h. The valley, which is very narrow between La Bégude-de-Mazenc and Le Poët-Laval, widens out here in both directions.
