A pretty village located in the heart of the Verdon gorges and lakes. From here many bike tours start. We will see paragliders if the wind is good as the site is well known for the sport!

Col du Défens (1,230 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

One of my favorite passes (1,230 meters) in this region that I know well. A good quality road, very little traffic, magnificent scenery and a very accessible climb on both sides.
