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

Interesting rock formation.

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.

Also called Montagne de l'Aup, Le Duffre is located at an altitude of 1,757 meters and offers a beautiful panoramic view of the mountains and valleys!

Beautiful and impressive site.

Understand the rocks that surround us! Simple and pleasant, the ideal place for a picnic.

Time seems to have stopped in the middle of a landslide, the road winds through the middle of these gigantic blocks of rock. The name rocky chaos then takes on its full meaning.

The La Drôme jump is impressive and definitely worth the detour. The so-called Claps is a spectacular collapse of part of the mountain, overlooking the river. We can still clearly see the geological accident and the sliding of this enormous rock mass. This grandiose place is also a reservoir in summer where you can cool off in the shade of the pine trees and see the Drôme waterfall. It’s also an ideal climbing site: more than 120 routes for all levels and a via ferrata.
