Magnificent historic city, plan a day to visit Bouligons a few kilometers away towards Valdrôme.

Very beautiful panorama on the Hautes Alpes side

It all began in 1442 when a foundation broke away from the southern flank of Pic de Luc. As it slid, it hit a limestone spur, divided, broke into enormous blocks and blocked the Drôme at two points... thus two lakes were formed: the Petit downstream and the Grand upstream. The “Grand Lac” is 5 km long and arouses envy because it is full of fish. In 1561 it thus became the property of the Carthusians of Durban, monks to whom meat was forbidden. It was only in 1804 that a huge block, the “dad”, was pierced to let the water flow at the location of the current Saut de la Drôme. This vast dry body of water now gives way to an agricultural plain (ruined Bouligons farm and its formerly cultivated terraces) and the Bouligons marsh, the last vestige of the disappeared lake. The need to avoid the Claps during the construction of the “Briançonnais” railway line at the beginning of the 20th century also gave the site a magnificent viaduct, 244 m long and 44 m high.

This beautiful 16th century building has two towers. It has been the subject of restoration for 30 years and has been included on the list of historic monuments since 1926. It is known to have belonged to Philis de La Charce, a local heroine of the 17th century.

Col de Maison on the Drômoise route

Beautiful and impressive site.

The Col de Carabès from Valdrôme is 9.7km long with an average gradient of 4.9%. From Sigottier the climb is 10.5km with an average gradient of 5.15%.

Unknown pass because it is difficult to access, but worth the detour. A small narrow road that winds through the mountains and the forests, irregular slope with some steep passages at 10-11%.
