ペイリュイ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Very beautiful views while climbing the Espinouse. However, on the way down from the Col de l'Orme, when you take the road on the left, the road is very dangerous; you have to be very careful; we pass through the middle of farms, among other things.

very pleasant no particular difficulty

The spectacular Pénitents were sculpted by erosion in the pudding, a rock made up of pebbles torn from the Alps during their elevation and dumped here by rivers over a period ranging from 2 to 12 million years. Legend has it that these are monks who were petrified because they turned around when beautiful Moorish women passed by...

Very spectacular hike above the cliffs of Les Mees, with great views. However, good sure-footedness (sturdy shoes) and a head for heights are absolutely necessary!

The Col d'Espinouse culminates at 838m. From Bras d'Asse, the longest side is available to you with a 10.5 km climb. This pass is relatively easy with an average slope of barely 3.5%, only its length can tire you. The last km is the most sustained with an average of 6% which can hurt your thighs after 9 km of ascent

Nestled at an altitude of 711m at the foot of the Montagne de Lure, classified among the "Cities and villages of character", this small town was built around an abbey founded in the 11th century. All that remains of this abbey now is the cloister and an elegant Romanesque church with a slate roof and richly endowed furniture for such a small village. From the 16th to the 19th century, Cruis was an important center for peddlers and druggists whose activity consisted of traveling the mountains to pick aromatic or medicinal plants and resell them on the market. Thanks to this rich past, the village has retained a certain cachet offering a network of small flowery streets, squares with fountains or washhouses, and old houses with stone facades and roofs in harmonious colors.

This geological site which adjoins the village of Mées is very impressive and remarkable for the rock formations which stand before you. They are more than 100 meters high. These imposing columns are made up of naturally cemented and then eroded rocks and pebbles called Poudingues. Legend has it that around the year 800 Count Raimbaud, victorious against the Saracens, brought back seven of their most beautiful women from the Crusades in order to take them to his castle. They were finally taken under good escort by monks coming from the nearby Lure mountain. They were turned to stone when a strong wind blew their hoods off, forcing them to look at the beautiful prisoners.

With nearly 80,000 olive trees, Les Mées is the largest olive-growing commune in the Alpes de Haute-Provence. From up there we have a beautiful view of the old town and its wild surroundings.
