It's not a church, it's a cathedral!

Small village with its castle

Not the most beautiful highlight. But the drive there is definitely worth it! Especially if you're coming from the south. For campers at Le Clot du Jay: highly recommended!

A pretty pass before heading to Gap

Legendary pass of the Gapençais basin

Little traffic. It connects the Sasse valley to the Turriers basin. It is located at an altitude of 1,176 meters.

The length of its watercourse is 39.2 km1. The Sasse has its source in the commune of Selonnet, north of the Tête Grosse summit (2,032 m), at an altitude of 1,920 m along the Tête Grosse ski lift in the Chabanon-Selonnet ski resort. It is also called the Piche ravine in this upper part. It flows generally from east-northeast to west-southwest. It flows into the left bank of the middle Durance4 in the commune of Valernes at an altitude of 470 m below the ruins of the Bastide Blanche.

The Astoin turnstiles refer to the series of hairpin bends described by the departmental road no. 1 to cross the rocky barrier formed by the Jurassic limestones that close the Sasse basin to the north. This road replaced the mule track that winds along the other bank of the Eau Amère and which is much older: it already appears on the Cassini map in the 18th century. This road allows the Bayons valley, its forests, its mountain pastures to communicate with the Turriers basin and, via the Garcinets pass, with Seyne and the Blanche valley. This RD 1 partly succeeded the main road from Seyne to Apt (1885), itself the heir to the D 17 of 1813. It should be noted that the village of Bayons is only served by this single road which must cross the Tourniquets upstream and the Clue de Bayons downstream.
