Worth seeing small community on the Verdon with well-preserved fortress walls and the Fort de Savoie, the fortresses were of course built by Vauban.

Upper Lance Valley

Highlight • Other

This section of trail takes you along the splendid Lance river through its high valley, passing through the place called Pont de la Serre. Don't miss its waterfall, the many larch trees, and the splendid landscapes it offers in all seasons.
