    Amazing stretch of road in a stunning valley

    January 23, 2025

    Cycling

    The Astoin turnstiles refer to the series of hairpin bends described by the departmental road no. 1 to cross the rocky barrier formed by the Jurassic limestones that close the Sasse basin to the north.

    This road replaced the mule track that winds along the other bank of the Eau Amère and which is much older: it already appears on the Cassini map in the 18th century.

    This road allows the Bayons valley, its forests, its mountain pastures to communicate with the Turriers basin and, via the Garcinets pass, with Seyne and the Blanche valley.
