Tips
The Durance valley extends for approximately 320 kilometers, shaped by the most important river in Provence. Once capricious, it has been controlled by numerous dams, including that of Serre-Ponçon, one of the largest in Europe. The valley is also rich in biodiversity, home to many plant and animal species specific to this Mediterranean region.
