...Exploring The Haute Provence...

The city of Forcalquier is located in the heart of Giono's Provence and at the gateway of the Lubéron Regional Park... The Forcalquier region, halfway between the Alps and the Mediterranean, between Lure and Luberon, between Durance and Calavon, is Haute Provence's magic square...

Among the fragrances of a Provencal land bathed in light, you can discover a rich built heritage (Romanesque churches, stone farms, shepherds' huts) between Lure and Lubéron all year round on foot, on horseback, by bike or by mountain-bike...

...And further afield, you'll discover the Verdon...

The Verdon, which borders the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department to the South, is a magical river. Here, its vivid water takes on a beautiful emerald colour.
