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.

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.

Gorges de la Méouge

Highlight • Gorge

The Méouge gorges, classified as a biological reserve, connect Drôme Provençale and Hautes-Alpes, in the heart of the Baronnies Provençales Regional Natural Park.

The small road which crosses them winds for around 10 kilometers, between Châteauneuf-de-Chabre and Barret-sur-Méouge. The turquoise waters of the Méouge are perfect for taking a splash!

Gorges de la Méouge

Highlight • Gorge

The Méouge gorges are a place famous for the quality of its waters and the grandeur of this exceptional site. They are classified as a biological reserve and represent a true jewel for the department.
At its bottom, the Méouge becomes a grandiose spectacle, with its natural slides, its rocks. After the waterfall, basins carved into the rock serve as natural pools and delight young and old alike.

Méouge Gorge!!

Highlight • Gorge

Road a bit busy but beautiful. I hope things will change since they ban car parking along the gorges during the summer (paying shuttles).

Pénitents des Mées Trail

Highlight • Trail

This beautiful part of the trail strays slightly from the Durance and gives you a glimpse of the geological formation of the Mées penitents in the distance. The trail itself is very pleasant to walk.
