Horseback riding routes in Haute-Provence, inspired by Jean Giono's novel "The Horseman on the Roof".
Description
On these routes, you will be following in Angelo's footsteps: Manosque, Forcalquier, the Montagne de Lure, etc.
Vast unspoiled spaces, dry stone sheepfolds, the smell of thyme wafted by the horses' hooves, and the air, especially the air...
"Lure, calm, blue, dominates the country, blocking the west with its large, imperceptible mountain body." Jean GIONO "Hill"
No one has spoken as well about Haute-Provence as Jean Giono. Not wanting to be a regionalist writer, he has, in the universal, touched on the detail that makes it there and not elsewhere.
Walk through this country and you will be touched by its beauty, the spaces, the air, the smells, the silences.
The human stone of the villages or the wild stone of the landscapes, all contribute to drawing you into the poetry of Jean Giono's work. Follow the path taken by Angélo, hero of "The Horseman on the Roof," if the magic works you will want to know more and it is in your armchair, book in hand that you will set off on a journey again...
