L'Escale – Route Napoléon and Church Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

This small village is called L'Escale, quite simply because Napoleon during the 100 days and his escape from the island of Elba stopped in the castle of this small town. This must have marked the spirits of the time.

Pénitents des Mées Trail

Highlight • Trail

This beautiful part of the trail strays slightly from the Durance and gives you a glimpse of the geological formation of the Mées penitents in the distance. The trail itself is very pleasant to walk.

Camping l'Hippocampe de Volonne

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the edge of the Durance and very close to the campsite, just after passing the charming village of Volonne, you move on a beautiful road.

Footbridge over the Durance

Highlight • Bridge

Nice passage above the Durance. I recommend chaining it along the Durance by the Hippocampe campsite, it's pretty.
