The troglodyte fortress of Aiglun

Coming from Roquesteron, Aiglun has plenty of parking spaces at the village exit.

(S/E) Head towards the municipal covered market.

Marked trail.

(1) Take the path called ‘Le Sentier de la Forteresse’, which starts to the left of the municipal building. The path climbs, then descends, immediately offering spectacular views of the cliff.

(2) Turn left at this crossroads. Below, the first views of the gorge.

(3) At this junction, before turning right, take a break on this information platform, which provides a wealth of information about the history of the area. Continue along the ascending path to the next platform.

(4) Warning: do not follow the Sentier de Clue d’Aiglun, as it is not secured.
Follow the signs for the Sentier de la Forteresse.

(5) The Fortress. A true monument from another era, which leaves every visitor in awe. Below lies the department’s most famous canyon. Turn back and return to the starting point. (S/E)

Do not take the Clues d'Aiglun path as it is not safe.

The path is well-maintained; please wear sturdy footwear or trainers at the very least.

Please respect the site, nature and wildlife. No fires, no wild camping. Follow the signs.

Not recommended for those with a fear of heights.

After visiting the fortress, head towards the village.

Beautiful old houses line the narrow streets. They cluster around the 18th-century Saint-Raphaël church, the town hall and the village inn.
