Built on a narrow rocky spine facing the Baume rock bordering the other bank of the Durance, the citadel of Sisteron dominates the town. It includes bastion enclosures and a keep. Its origin dates from the 13th, even the 12th century. Largely destroyed in 1944, the citadel was the subject of a vast restoration plan.

Finally, a walk to the top of the citadel offers one of the most spectacular views in the region.

Buech Bridge, Sisteron

Highlight • Bridge

Don't hesitate to follow the bike path; it's really very pretty... It's certainly uphill, but there are plenty of viewpoints and short descents that allow you to recover...
Honestly, it's a must-do...

This bridge which spans the bed of the Vançon was built in the 16th century.

Its name is a tribute to Queen Jeanne, Queen of Provence and Naples in recognition of the good she did to the inhabitants of Sisteron.

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

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.
