The Monges massif, a place to discover. A festive welcome from the marmots (with a bit of luck, one that lives in the old Chinese hut). A 360° view of all the massifs of the Alpes de Hautes Provence: Estrop, Cloches de Barles, Cheval Blanc.

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!
