The city of Sisteron is distinguished by its unique setting of the Rocher de la Baume. The town was passed through by Napoleon on his march north after escaping from Elba. The city now has the Route de Napoléon.

Hiking

The Rocher de la Baume is a large rock layered almost vertically. In the deep crevasses, climbing takes place in the shade of the rock during the day.
