Saint-Étienne-les-Orgues

Highlight • Settlement

If you only have the Montagne de Lure in mind and stay on the main road you are missing out…. A detour into the small streets of the village is always worthwhile.

Hello Komootler, after a stroll through a weekly market there was still enough time for a tour through Provence. It went up and down remote roads. Unfortunately, I can't offer blooming lavender fields, but I can offer a praying mantis that seemed to be stuck to the wall at eye level like a model. That was my personal highlight.

After a 13-hour drive, just kick the Autobahn out of your legs. Fantastic driving at dusk. The first 4km are missing.

Small evening round in another “villages des characters”: Cruis a lively village with a beautiful abbey. All in all a great tour with great descents and a slightly thundery atmosphere.

A quick lap in the evening. I just like the little village of Cruis, but Le Mourres near Forcalquier is also great to look at.
