Postcard-Worthy Provence

The birthplace of writer Jean Giono, Manosque is a town that truly captures your heart. Imagine wandering through medieval gateways into a bustling old town, surrounded by a patchwork of orchards, lavender fields, and olive groves. With its lively squares shaded by ancient plane trees and vibrant local markets, it’s the perfect spot for a quintessential Provençal day trip.

Sisteron

Perched proudly between the mountains and the Mediterranean, Sisteron is nothing short of spectacular. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker looking for a challenge or a dreamy wanderer content with sun-drenched alleys and fragrant markets, this "pearl" has a way of enchanting everyone who visits.

Forcalquier

You haven’t experienced the real Provence until you’ve visited Forcalquier’s famous Monday market. It’s one of the most vibrant and colorful in the region—a local tradition you definitely don’t want to miss!

The Monastory of Ganagobie

Perched like an eagle high above the Durance Valley, Ganagobie is much more than a spiritual retreat—it offers the most breathtaking panorama in the area. Picture a rocky plateau where Benedictine monks live in harmony with the scent of wild lavender and thyme.

The real hidden gem? The church’s exquisite Romanesque mosaics. This medieval floor is so stunning you’ll almost hesitate to step on it. Ganagobie is living proof that history, serenity, and jaw-dropping views are a match made in heaven.
