シャンプテルシエ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.

The Mées

The Col d'Espinouse peaks at 838m and has two very different sides. From Bras d'Asse, more than 10 km of climbing awaits you and be careful not to be fooled by its low average percentage because this pass has many passages at more than 7%, especially towards the end with the last 700 meters at 8% and above all this slope is very exposed to the wind which often blows very strongly. On the other side from the Chaffaut road the climb is around 3-4 km shorter, is not exposed to the wind but has a steep and regular gradient (6-7% on average and passages at 11%).

Thoard is a dynamic medieval village. The town is full of streets and galleries. The bell tower of the 12th century church dominates the city perched on its rocky outcrop. We enjoy an ice cream there or sit at the inn. Village festivals punctuate the lives of residents throughout the year in this town where the surrounding area is concentrated. Beautiful views of the lavender fields make it a destination that smells of Provence.

This place of worship, the chapel "Saint-Michel-de-Cousson", was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (coming from the Hebrew language) means “Who is like God?” He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human understanding) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints' calendar is September 29th.

Shady with a high quality of stay

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

Pretty little chapel set on a rocky outcrop with a magnificent view of the valley!
