The region abounds in grandiose natural sites not to be missed, from the Verdon gorges to the lavender-blossomed Valensole plateau, via the Allos and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camping-fontarache.fr\/camping-paca\/camping-lac-de-serre-poncon\/\">Serre-Pon\u00e7on<\/a> lakes and the Bonette pass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of historic sites to <strong>visit in the Alpes de Haute Provence region<\/strong>, including the citadel of Sisteron, considered by Henry IV to be the most powerful in his kingdom. Eight centuries of history overlook the village from a promontory that offers panoramic views 150 km in all directions. Another site not to be missed, the Provencal town of Forcalquier hosts the region&#8217;s largest market in its historic center. Its built heritage bears witness to its past as a Comtale town. <strong>Also worth a visit in the Alpes de Haute Provence<\/strong> is the Vauban citadel of Entrevaux and its medieval village, which organizes major festivities around the Middle Ages.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A mythical itinerary, the Napoleon route taken by the Emperor in 1815 on his return from Elba passes through some of the most important sites in the Alpes de Haute Provence: the picturesque village of Castellane, the typical villages of Senez and Barr\u00eame, Digne-les-Bains and Malijai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide blog-query is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<div data-wp-context=\"{}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/query\" data-wp-key=\"0\" data-wp-router-region=\"query-0\" class=\"wp-block-query alignwide gt-fse-maillage-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group section-simple section-7 blog has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-075f105f wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-top:8rem;padding-right:10rem;padding-bottom:8rem;padding-left:10rem\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large bullet\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"39\" height=\"39\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camping-fontarache.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/icon-rond-beige.svg\" alt=\"round beige icon\" class=\"wp-image-221\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activities and attractions in the Alpes de Haute Provence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With its festivals, exceptional natural areas, historic sites and lively villages, the Alpes de Haute Provence region offers an infinite choice of activities.

Water sports and family activities are available on lakes and rivers: don&#8217;t miss out on sailing on the turquoise waters of the Verdon, or on the lakes of Castillon, Sainte-Croix, Quinson or Serre-Pon\u00e7on. With its cliffs and 70 canyons, the region&#8217;s terrain lends itself particularly well to canyoning and rock climbing: the Verdon&#8217;s walls are covered with 1,500 climbing routes, and there are other climbing spots to discover in Annot and Ubaye. The Via Ferrata in Digne-les-Bains is a must.
