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 spectacular Pénitents were sculpted by erosion in the pudding, a rock made up of pebbles torn from the Alps during their elevation and dumped here by rivers over a period ranging from 2 to 12 million years. Legend has it that these are monks who were petrified because they turned around when beautiful Moorish women passed by...

Very spectacular hike above the cliffs of Les Mees, with great views. However, good sure-footedness (sturdy shoes) and a head for heights are absolutely necessary!

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

The Pas de la Graille is the name of the pass that climbs the Montagne de Lure, so dear to Jean Giono. Lighthouse of the Provençal hinterland, this mountain is the discreet little sister of Mont Ventoux and culminates at 1826 meters. It is a great playground for lovers of outdoor activities. The climb is a regular feature on the program of the Paris-Nice cycling races or the Tour de Provence. On the south side, departing from Saint-Étienne-les-Orgues, corresponding to this segment, you will have to face 1082 meters of elevation over a distance of 18 kilometers, i.e. an average gradient of 6% with a fairly regular climb. On the north side, from Valbelle, the road is generally longer and the climb seems less steep on paper when considered as a whole. It is however characterized by a significant irregularity, and offers steeper passages that can climb up to 10% slope.

Nestled at an altitude of 711m at the foot of the Montagne de Lure, classified among the "Cities and villages of character", this small town was built around an abbey founded in the 11th century. All that remains of this abbey now is the cloister and an elegant Romanesque church with a slate roof and richly endowed furniture for such a small village. From the 16th to the 19th century, Cruis was an important center for peddlers and druggists whose activity consisted of traveling the mountains to pick aromatic or medicinal plants and resell them on the market. Thanks to this rich past, the village has retained a certain cachet offering a network of small flowery streets, squares with fountains or washhouses, and old houses with stone facades and roofs in harmonious colors.

With nearly 80,000 olive trees, Les Mées is the largest olive-growing commune in the Alpes de Haute-Provence. From up there we have a beautiful view of the old town and its wild surroundings.

Very nice climb with a superb panorama!
