Magnificent gorges, especially in autumn. The climb up to the Chapelle Saint-André is a 2km round trip, but the view from the top is well worth the diversions.
You will pass through the remains of the hamlet of Valbonnette. A little further on, another detour of around a hundred metres, to see the ruins of a house, where a large round pillar has remained in its centre, still with the notches used to fix the wooden beams on two levels.

Departure from Digne-les-Bains (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
This hike is best done in summer to avoid paths overrun by the torrent of hot water. It is a very easy hike along well-maintained paths, with the only difficulty being a descent that may put some people off. There are also a few dizzying sections. Those with a fear of heights should avoid this hike. The start of the walk is somewhat overgrown with wild vegetation that has taken over a little. In places, the paths are covered in water for a few metres before the path reappears shortly afterwards. Then begins a steady, unbroken climb with no obstacles.
