サンジェニーのおすすめツーリングルート

Not the most beautiful highlight. But the drive there is definitely worth it! Especially if you're coming from the south. For campers at Le Clot du Jay: highly recommended!

beautiful road through the mountains

Little traffic. It connects the Sasse valley to the Turriers basin. It is located at an altitude of 1,176 meters.

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. This RD 1 partly succeeded the main road from Seyne to Apt (1885), itself the heir to the D 17 of 1813. It should be noted that the village of Bayons is only served by this single road which must cross the Tourniquets upstream and the Clue de Bayons downstream.

The way to get there is essentially on the road but it is almost deserted and the view of the gorges is sublime.

Here, the trail passes a few meters from the Vanson. A tributary of the Durance, it is therefore a sub-tributary of the Rhône. There is an old destroyed bridge as well as a small footbridge. This place allows you to treat yourself to a pleasant moment of freshness.

Due to its special shape, this rock is an eye-catcher

This village has the particularity of being located on a natural hillock. In good weather, it benefits from remarkable views of the Alpine massif.
