Departure from Saumane (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence)
Above the village of Saumane, the Montagne de Lure was once a major centre for pastoralism. There are a large number of sheepfolds here, most of which were built in the 19th century. All constructed using dry stone from locally sourced materials, they are magnificent examples of a specialised technique executed to a very high standard.

From Chanteduc, you can look back and see much of the route you’ve covered since the start, and from Saint-Cyr, you’ll have a commanding view over the Buech and Durance valleys.

Departure from Antonaves (Hautes-Alpes)
The first stage of the Tour de la Méouge gets off to a beautiful start with a complete crossing of the Gorges de la Méouge. It then passes through Barret-sur-Méouge before reaching the Crête de Chabre for a splendid panorama of the Dévoluy, the Écrins and the Ventoux. Then you arrive at the remote hamlet of Izon-la-Bruisse with its spectacular view. It is possible to split the stage in two (recommended in case of high temperatures or bad weather and depending on the level of the participants) by spending the night at the Ferme de l'Ubac, before Barret-sur-Méouge.
