Description
Au départ du parking Chamrein, sur la D12, route du Chaffaut à Malijai, 3 km à l’ouest du Chaffaut.
The old village of Lagremuse, now in ruins, has been attached to the commune of Chaffaut-Saint-Jurson since 1887. Remarkably located on a rocky eminence, composed of a conglomerate called puddingstones of Valensole, overlooking the Val de Bléone, it offers a beautiful semi-circular panorama of the Digne Pre-Alps. Lagremuse is also the name given to the small gray wall lizard that is particularly fond of rocky crevices in which it finds refuge.
