Departure from La Javie (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
A hike in the heart of the Haute Provence Geological Reserve: to cross the Esclangon Velodrome, then find yourself at the foot of the Lame (or sail) de Facibelle: a marvel of delicacy.
But also to step back in time with the old Orthodox hermitage of Saint-Jean du Désert, not forgetting the abandoned hamlets and villages such as Tanaron and Pudoyer
