Beautiful little town with a great pedestrian zone

The beautiful pedestrian zone of Barcelonette. Some of the side streets are also worth seeing.

Very pleasant, very touristy town.

The city of Barcelonnette, capital of the Ubaye valley, is located at 1,135 meters above sea level and has a mix of southern and mountainous character. Plaza Manuel, surrounded by beautiful colorful facades, is the nerve center of the historic center. Dominated by the 15th century Cardinalis tower, this highlight of the local atmosphere has pleasant café and restaurant terraces. Around the square, the visit to Barcelonnette continues with a tour of its pedestrian streets full of shops.
