There is a nice little bar at the foot to relax a bit: The Ka'fé clock.

La Baume Rock

Highlight • Other

The town of Sisteron where the citadel and the Baume rock are located is worth a stop and a thorough discovery. It is both pleasant and surprising. A town steeped in history marking the border between the Alps and Provence, both geographically and geopolitically (in the Middle Ages).

Sisteron Citadel

Highlight • River

Built on a narrow rocky spine facing the Baume rock bordering the other bank of the Durance, the citadel of Sisteron dominates the town. It includes bastion enclosures and a keep. Its origin dates from the 13th, even the 12th century. Largely destroyed in 1944, the citadel was the subject of a vast restoration plan.

Finally, a walk to the top of the citadel offers one of the most spectacular views in the region.

Queen Jeanne Bridge

Highlight • Other

This bridge which spans the bed of the Vançon was built in the 16th century.

Its name is a tribute to Queen Jeanne, Queen of Provence and Naples in recognition of the good she did to the inhabitants of Sisteron.
