Departure from Barles (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
Les Cloches de Barles is no piece of cake to climb! Reaching the summit is like climbing to the top of a layer cake: you have to work up a sweat to earn your cherry. But once you're up there, it's a feast for the eyes. And to get back down, hop, a little bucolic stroll in picture-postcard style, between the Cabane des Prés and the Sommet de Chine, with dancing flowers and smiling meadows. In short, a real fairy tale hiking experience!

Departure from Auzet (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
The Auzet Mountains will charm you, not because of their high altitudes or steep gradients, but for something else entirely. For in the Auzet region, the term ‘Mountains’ refers to the mountain chalets that most farms used to own up there. And it’s well worth a visit.
