Feeling a little thirsty? Luckily, the fountain bar is here to help.

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.

Typical village of Haut-Diois, former Roman capital of the region. There you will find water at the fountain, public toilets and above all a superb organic grocery store La Milpa, just opposite the bakery. It is the last village before Claps, and probably the last shops you will find before going to the other side of the Col de Cabre.

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.

Beautiful and impressive site.

It's a pretty little village where you will find a few bars and a small supermarket to stock up on supplies.

Small castle ruins in Charce on the Oule.

Nice little place, nice church and some bars. Next to the church a small super. On the Drôme also a nice campsite.
