Château de Montfroc

Castle

From time immemorial and at least since Roman times, Sisteron has been considered a strategic point, with its rocky outcrop overlooking the valley which opens the passage between Provence and Dauphiné. Throughout the ages men have devised plans, built and fortified the walls of the city. "It is the most powerful fortress of my kingdom" said Henri IV of the Citadel of Sisteron. But of the fortifications of the Middle Ages, there now remains only a keep, a walkway from the 12th century, and ramparts from the 14th century. In 1692, Vauban undertook plans to modernize and strengthen the fortress which would give it its current silhouette. In the middle of the 19th century, an impressive underground staircase was dug into the rock to connect it to the city. Damaged by bombing in 1944, the fortress was again restored in the 20th century. Thus, the citadel dominating Sisteron, which we can currently admire, is the result of a set of works from very different periods, and the substrate of more than eight centuries of architecture and history.
Opposite the citadel, on the other bank of the Durance, stands the rock of La Baume, made up of vertical strata and folds of limestone. Passing through a cave in the rock, it is possible to reach the top of the mountain on foot. The site is also conducive to the practice of via ferrata with walls spaced about ten meters apart. The mountain of La Baume is also pierced by a tunnel which allows the A51 motorway to cross it from side to side. You won't necessarily see it on your bike, but you will notice it if you drive around.

Séderon

Highlight • Settlement

Séderon attracts visitors with the charm of its vast wilderness and its lavender fields, as well as its interesting architectural heritage. As you stroll through the village, be sure to admire the frescoes and stained glass windows of the communal church created in the 1940s by André Seurre. Not far away, it is also possible to discover the ruins of the 10th century Notre-Dame-de-la-Brune chapel, a former stopover on the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Astronomy lovers can go to the CosmoDrôme located on the nearby Bergiès mountain.

Macuègne Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de Macuègne, which has very little traffic, is a pass in the Préalpes dauphinoises located on the northern slopes of Mont Ventoux between Montbrun-les-Bains and Séderon. Nearby you will find a large observatory, the Cosmodrôme.

Montbrun-les-Bains

Highlight • Settlement

Characterized by its tall stone houses, this old medieval village is listed among the most beautiful villages in France. Montbrun-les-Bains is also famous for its thermal baths. The bell tower, the Clock Tower, dates back to the 13th century. The 12th century church houses magnificent wooden works and a 17th century altarpiece. See also the ruins of the castle.
