The Route Napoléon stretches from Golfe Juan to Grenoble via Haute Provence.
Description
The Napoleon Route in Haute Provence: From Sisteron to Castellane.
Enter the luminous Provence, a land of scents and contrasting landscapes through Sisteron, a medieval town, sandwiched between its proud citadel and the rock of La Baume. Along the Durance, a once tumultuous river, discover an exceptional mountain biking site, then Malijai where the vivid memory of the Emperor's passage is celebrated every even-numbered year in July with a parade of troops in Napoleonic costume.
Digne-les-Bains offers medical treatments for well-being or prevention, particularly with lavender essential oils. Continue your journey through the Clues de Chabrières and Taulanne, a stunning mineral landscape, and don't be surprised to come across the famous Train des Pignes.
Then pass through the villages of Barrême and Senez where heritage and outdoor activities come together to ensure you have a rich and unique stay. Finally, from the Col des Lecques, here is, seen from above, Castellane, a picturesque village, dominated by its rock, gateway to the Gorges du Verdon, a paradise for whitewater sports and hiking.
