Thoard

Highlight • Other

Thoard is a dynamic medieval village. The town is full of streets and galleries. The bell tower of the 12th century church dominates the city perched on its rocky outcrop.

We enjoy an ice cream there or sit at the inn. Village festivals punctuate the lives of residents throughout the year in this town where the surrounding area is concentrated.

Beautiful views of the lavender fields make it a destination that smells of Provence.

Col du Pas de Bonnet (886 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Pas de Bonnet culminates at an altitude of 886 meters. From Digne-les-Bains, the longest slope awaits you with 7 kilometers of climbing.

The first part, up to the village of Champtercier, is the most complicated even if the slope does not exceed an average of 5.5%. You will still be entitled to a small section of 100 meters just before Champtercier at almost 10%, which is an injection. The second part is simpler and more regular, the slope barely exceeding 6%.

Alexandra David-Néel House

Highlight • Other

Here is the famous Maison Alexandra David-Neel. Tibetan culture lover, or simply curious, do not miss this unique place. You will learn a lot from this great explorer, and erudite before the eternal.

Alexandra couldn't keep still! She loved adventure and travel so much that she had her passport redone the year of her 100th birthday in 1969.
