Overview of Haute-Provence and Hautes-Alpes: High alpine passes and peaks can be found in the "Alpes de haute Provence." France's largest reservoir, Lac de Serre-Ponçon, nestles like a fjord into the mountains. Hikers and nature lovers enjoy the tranquility and explore abandoned villages like Chaudun. West of the Durance, picturesque villages such as Lurs or Mane are scattered across the hilly landscape. East of the Durance, the Grand Canyon du Verdon impresses, with the river winding like a jade green ribbon in its dizzying depths. Refreshment can be found at Lac de Sainte-Croix, while the lavender fields on the Plateau de Valensole enchant with their intense fragrance. To the east, the transition into the Maritime Alps begins. The Mercantour National Park protects the alpine landscape from destruction. Many valleys remain untouched, and with a bit of luck, you may spot ibex and gentians. The village of Barcelonette surprises with its "Mexican flair.".
