Méouge Valley

Highlight • Other

The Gorges of the Meouge River (or in French « Gorges de la Méouge ») are an exceptional natural site, classified in the European Natura 2000 network intended to protect the most precious natural environments. They are located between Provence and the Alps, in the heart of the regional natural park of the Provençal Baronnies, 5 km southwest of Laragne, near Sisteron. Between the villages of Barret sur Méouge and Châteauneuf de Chabre, the road winds for about ten kilometers along the Meouge stream, between the limestone rock walls, creating sumptuous landscapes a bit like the Verdon gorges! The turquoise stream cascades down, forming small natural pools and smooth rock beaches, at the bottom of deep, green gorges, bathed in the gentle heat and light of Provence. The place has been awarded the "Wonder" of the Hautes Alpes department, classified as a "biological reserve", this treasure of the Sisteron Buëch area is very famous for bathing in the stream or hiking on the numerous paths.
