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.

La Baume Rock

Highlight • Other

The town of Sisteron where the citadel and the Baume rock are located is worth a stop and a thorough discovery. It is both pleasant and surprising. A town steeped in history marking the border between the Alps and Provence, both geographically and geopolitically (in the Middle Ages).

Sisteron Shopping Street

Highlight • Settlement

nice little shopping street, which provides a lot of shade from the sun due to the narrowness of the row of houses.

There is a nice little bar at the foot to relax a bit: The Ka'fé clock.

Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Thyrse Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Inside the beautiful cathedral, a chapel with a shell vault reminds us that we are on the path of St. James of Compostella.
