Pélicier State Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Pélicier forest offers magnificent views of the Durance valley, Mont Ventoux, Sainte-Victoire mountain and the Digne Prealps.

This artificial plantation of black pines dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and was intended to limit soil erosion.
