The Counts of Forcalquier were very clever at political maneuvering and played on this rivalry, as well as on the more distant ambitions of the Germanic emperor, to maintain their own autonomy for a century and a half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The problem of the bishopric<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Forcalquier was also <strong>the residence of the bishop<\/strong> who, installed in Sisteron, had to flee the city, a city whose lords had seized all the ecclesiastical goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Canon law forbade him to transfer the seat of the bishopric to Forcalquier, so the bishop had an original idea: he pronounced the division of the prerogatives and the episcopal goods between the churches of Sisteron and Forcalqier, and gave almost all of his possessions to the latter city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The end of the counts and modern times<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">In the 13th century, marriages associated the county with the counties of Provence and Anjou. This last dynasty reigned there until 1480. Louis XI inherited it and subdued Forcalquier by means of bombards, operated from a hill named since the Bombardi\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The city always rebel, participated in all <strong>the great moments of the national history<\/strong> In 1789, it was the place of election of deputies to the States General of Sisteron, Forcalquier and Barcelonnette. In 1851, the city and the country were leaders of the Republican revolt, and during the last war, it was one of the most active poles in the Resistance and obtained the war cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Around the cathedral<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The Notre-Dame-Du-March\u00e9 Cathedral<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Formerly called Notre-Dame-Du-Bourguet, the cathedral is <strong>the major monument of the city.<\/strong> In the 11th century, there were <strong>two churches<\/strong> there, <strong>Notre Dame and the Holy Sepulchre<\/strong>. The cathedral of Forcalquier is a <strong>monument to visit<\/strong> which <strong>testifies to the preeminence of the Catholic faith in the Pays d&#8217;Oc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The market<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">It has <strong>existed since antiquity.<\/strong> This market is one of the most important of Provence and gathers every Monday morning, in the whole city, <strong>about 300 traders in winter<\/strong>, and <strong>400 in summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-r-6 p-l-4 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The convent of the Visitandines<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">In front of the cathedral, <strong>a baroque church recalls the existence of a convent built for the visitandines in 1630<\/strong> by the municipality. L\u2019\u00e9glise devint salle de r\u00e9union lors de la R\u00e9volution, puis th\u00e9\u00e2tre, salle de bal, cin\u00e9ma.

Le <strong>mus\u00e9e municipal<\/strong> est abrit\u00e9 au dernier \u00e9tage de cet \u00e9difice.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The Cordeliers convent <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Witness to the importance of the Franciscan movement in Provence, this convent is, like the cathedral, the fruit of a skilful synthesis between the Romanesque and the Gothic which was imposed at the very moment when the Franciscans were charged by the papacy with the Inquisition in the counties of Provence and Forcalquier. However, Proven\u00e7al Franciscanism was sometimes itself on the verge of heresy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The Good Fountain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">This <strong>spring feeds a set of fountains and wash houses<\/strong> dating from the end of the 15th century.

Only a few sections of the wall of the great Romanesque church of Saint Mari remain, which took its name when it welcomed, in 925, the relics of Saint Mari, threatened by the Barbarians. At the end of this street, it is still possible to see a part of the keep built by the bishop at the chevet of the church, which was integrated into the ramparts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The church of Notre-Dame-De-Provence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">It crowns the hill of Forcalquier, and was <strong>intended to be the national sanctuary<\/strong> of Provence. At the time of <strong>its inauguration in 1875<\/strong>, <strong>musical and literary prizes<\/strong> were awarded there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The carillon<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">At the top of the citadel stands a <strong>carillon built in 1925<\/strong>, on the occasion of the celebrations of the millennium of the arrival of the relics of Saint Mari. The carillon is on the same level at the top of the hill, which allows the public to see the carilloneur in action. Around this carillon, the visitor can <strong>discover a panorama which extends from the Luberon to the Alps.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Towards the convent of the R\u00e9collets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The convent of the R\u00e9collets<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">It included <strong>the church of Saint-Pierre<\/strong>. In 1627, the chapter of Forcalquier ceded the church and the cloister house of Saint-Pierre to the Recollect monks, the name of the reformed Franciscans. 3 years later, the plague having put to flight almost all the secular clergy, but not the regulars.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centre-les-recollets.com\/en\/les-recollets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Recollects<\/a>, who had distinguished themselves by their devotion, <strong>became very popular<\/strong>. The donations they received allowed them to enlarge the convent, which became the imposing building it is today. After the departure of the monks, it was <strong>transformed into a prison<\/strong> and, in 1851, housed the local allies of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, who had been imprisoned by the Forcalquierans, who were good Republicans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The temple<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The <strong>ideas of the Reformation<\/strong> gained a part of the Proven\u00e7al people, with the Waldensians in 1489 and the Lutherans in 1538. After the edict of Saint-Germain, in 1576, Forcalquier was the only town in Provence, along with M\u00e9rindol, <strong>where the reformed cult remained authorized<\/strong>.  On <strong>the pediment of the building is engraved this injunction<\/strong> (book of Isaiah): &#8220;Confess the Lord and call upon his name&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The palace <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Although the facade dates from 1842, justice has been administered here for 800 years and it is here that in 1206, <strong>Guilhem II freed the inhabitants from all lordly dependence,<\/strong> invoking the divine wrath on anyone who would violate their freedom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"M\u00e9es-img\" class=\"ls-section  page-parallax has-background-image has-parallax has-p-t p-t-30 has-p-b p-b-30\" >\n    <div class=\"ls-section__background-image opacity-100\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camping-ginasservis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/visiter-les-mees-provence-4.jpg\" alt=\"visiter les mees provence 4\"><\/div>    <div class=\"container container--wide\">\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"M\u00e9es-txt\" class=\"ls-section \" >\n        <div class=\"container container--full\">\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"ls__heading has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Les M\u00e9es and Pontis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-l-6 p-r-4 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">History of stones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The <strong>rocks of M\u00e9es<\/strong> are a mixture of pebbles, sand and sandstone formed 25 million years ago. This rock resulted from the dissolution of limestone blocks torn off by the ancient rivers from the nearest massifs. <strong>The pudding zone of Les M\u00e9es<\/strong>, harder than elsewhere, has better resisted both erosion and the Durance which, on the western flank, has carved a vertical wall.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The rocks were sculpted by the gelification due to the alternation of the glacial periods and of diluvian rains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Hiking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">A <strong>path of crest makes it possible to make the turn<\/strong> of the M\u00e9es and to discover the secrets of their alchemy. It is recommended to start from the Saint-Roch chapel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The village of Les M\u00e9es<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The village, quite charming, has preserved some vestiges of its old ramparts, beautiful doors, and some interesting facades of the XVI\u00b0 century. <a href=\"https:\/\/les-mees.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Les M\u00e9es<\/a> was a <strong>particularly independent village<\/strong>, because, until Queen Jeanne made it subject to Guillaume Roger de Beaufort in 1350, the inhabitants were administered by elected syndics. They never stopped trying to regain their freedom and eventually bought back all their rights from the Beauforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The main enemy of this village was always the torrent of the Combe which regularly devastated the village. This caused a titanic construction site to build a tunnel through the rocks, and a dam to divert the water out of the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-r-6 p-l-4 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The village of Pontis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pontis.fr\/bienvenue-la-mairie-de-pontis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pontis<\/a> has a <strong>Valley Museum<\/strong>, where a classroom from the 1920s is reconstructed as a tribute to the valley that provided the Republic with a large number of teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The <strong>church of the village<\/strong> presents on <strong>the vault a beautiful decoration of marble<\/strong> and <strong>gypseries of XVIII\u00b0 century<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The <strong>Pontis pass<\/strong> is followed by a <strong>vertiginous descent along the adret<\/strong>, in a landscape of Scots pine, sea buckthorn and aromatic labia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">After the hamlet of Adroit-de-pontis, <strong>several paths lead to the Dolmen du Villard<\/strong>.

This gate was built in 1382.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The main street<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">It is the <strong>commercial street of the city<\/strong>. You can see, between the shop windows, the beautiful walnut doors of the bourgeois houses. To discover <strong>the old Manosque<\/strong>, it is necessary to borrow the small lanes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Saint-Sauveur Church<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">This <strong>unique parish of Manosque is typical of the Romanesque style of Provence<\/strong>. It contains rich furniture, carved wooden seats and paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Voland House<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">It is a very <strong>beautiful bourgeois house<\/strong> located at number 5 of the street Voland. This building <strong>is historic in two ways<\/strong> for Manosque. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">In 1367, <strong>the papal studium<\/strong> was established there. It looked like a large community of students and teachers. They left the house when a mysterious epidemic broke out in the school. It was a disease that drove people mad and then killed them.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The <strong>second historical fact<\/strong> concerns the arrival of <strong>Fran\u00e7ois I\u00b0 in Manosque.<\/strong> To honor the king, the consuls of the city presented him with the keys to the gates on a cushion, carried by the young and pretty Miss Voland. The looks of the monarch towards the young girl left her no doubt about the king&#8217;s intentions. Deeply disturbed, but not wanting to be compromised, nor to have to disobey the monarch, she would have disfigured herself with sulfur fumes to discourage the royal advances. When he learned of this act, Francis I, very touched by the virtue of the young woman, baptized the whole city with the nickname &#8220;Pudique&#8221;.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Around Notre-Dame-De-Romigier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">City Hall<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">It has a beautiful two-story <strong>facade in classical style.<\/strong> It is one of the buildings to visit in Manosque. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Notre-Dame-De-Romigier Church <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">It is the <strong>oldest religious monument of the city<\/strong>. It shelters <strong>a very beautiful Virgin and Child of the XII\u00b0 century venerated by the population<\/strong>, as well as <strong>furniture and superb stained glasses<\/strong>. Thanks to the numerous openings in the walls, this church is exceptionally bright.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Hotel d&#8217;Herbes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">This hotel has long housed the <strong>municipal archives of Manosque<\/strong>. Since 2006, it has housed <strong>the city&#8217;s media library<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Soubeyran Gate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Its name means &#8220;superior&#8221; because it is, geographically speaking, <strong>the highest in the city<\/strong>. The base of the gate dates from the 14th century, while the stone ramp, the tower and the bell tower date from the 19th century. <strong>The latter is the work of a craftsman from Apt, Baucham<\/strong>, and <strong>its shape symbolizes the layout of the old town<\/strong> which is similar to that of a pear.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-r-6 p-l-4 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Guilhempierre Gate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">It was named after the notary who wrote the privileges of the city, and <strong>was pulled down in 1836<\/strong> on the petition of the inhabitants so that the air and the sun would purify the western district, ravaged by a cholera epidemic. A <strong>false door in Siporex was made in 1986<\/strong> on the occasion of the first medieval festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Aubette Gate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The <strong>door of the little dawn was destroyed in 1934<\/strong> to allow the entrance to the trucks in the city center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Outside the walls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Carzou Foundation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The <strong>chapel of the former convent of the Presentation of Notre-Dame<\/strong> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondationcarzou.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Carzou Foundation.<\/a> The foundation offers visitors more than 666 m\u00b2 of paintings by Jean Carzou between 1985 and 1991. Jean Carzou is an Armenian painter born in Aleppo, Syria in 1907. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Jean-Giono Center<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\"><strong>Jean-Giono<\/strong> was born in 1895. He was a <strong>lyrical and visionary poet<\/strong>, a teacher of hope, a creator of myths and dazzling images, a subtle novelist and a joyful pessimist. He took a lucid and ironic look at humanity, cultivating his happiness in the humility of everyday life.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The center is located at the entrance of the city, in an old Provencal house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Lou Parais<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\"><strong>Jean-Giono<\/strong> lived in his <a href=\"https:\/\/centrejeangiono.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">house Lou Para\u00efs in Manosque<\/a> from 1929 to 1970, when he died. Its garden dominates the city. The visitor can discover the office and the library, one wall of which <strong>is painted in fresco by Lucien Jacques<\/strong>, a friend of the writer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Mont d&#8217;Or<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">To discover Manosque, go up this hill. The ruins of a tower of the ancient <strong>castle of the Counts of Provence<\/strong> stand isolated in the middle of an olive grove. The belt of boulevards follows the line of the ramparts.   At the foot of the Valensole plateau, you can see the Durance, a river that was capricious for a long time and is now disciplined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Chapel of Toutes-Aures<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The <strong>chapel of Toutes-Aures<\/strong> (of all winds) is located on a plateau suitable for walking, facing the hill of Mont d&#8217;Or. The Manosquins go up to the chapel in pilgrimage on Easter Monday and organize a big picnic there.

Do not hesitate to go and see the Roman colonnade in grey granite which is the rest of the facade <strong>of a tetrastyle temple apparently dedicated to Apollo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">But the visit does not stop there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">You can also visit a <strong>Paleochristian baptistery<\/strong>, a worthy and <strong>rare witness of the Merovingian era in Provence.<\/strong> The exterior, catered for in the 19th century, is of little interest but the interior pool surrounded by a colonnade and an ambulatory is intact. The baptistery houses <strong>a lapidary museum.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The city<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Surrounded by thick walls since its devastation in 1366, the city <strong>retains the narrow streets of its medieval period<\/strong>. However, most of the houses date from the 16th and 18th centuries. Go and see the City Hall with its Mannerist decorations, the <strong>Hotel de Mazan and its gypsum staircase.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The Cathedral<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The beginning of its construction dates back to 1490. At the beginning, it had only a nave leaning against the rampart. In the 17th century, the south aisle was added. It suffered during the taking of the city by the Calvinists and the revolution. But it was rebuilt in 1849. <strong>Its furniture is worth a visit!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The Saint-Maxime Chapel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Perched at the top of the city and dating from 1650, it offers today a pleasant goal of Promenade. The <strong>painted decoration dates from the 18th century.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-r-6 p-l-4 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Valensole The plateau<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Vast sloping plane from east to west, delimited by the valley of the Bl\u00e9one, to the west by that of the Durance, to the south by the Verdon and to the east by the Prealps of Digne, the plateau offers a superb view. Formerly dedicated to <strong>the cultivation of lavender<\/strong>, the agriculture of the plateau is now divided between <strong>lavandins and cereals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The village<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The <strong>village of Valensole<\/strong> is located in the heart of the plateau and takes its name from Latin and <strong>means &#8220;the valley of the sun&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Over the years, Valensole has kept the <strong>typical character<\/strong> and <strong>charm of the villages of Hautes-Provence<\/strong> and is increasingly appreciated for its fresh air. All this makes its visit indispensable to any tourist visiting the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m28!1m12!1m3!1d184438.2347374444!2d5.807269970237834!3d43.75526520567195!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m13!3e0!4m5!1s0x12cbd65094df8f13%3A0x901a3d174ccc53b7!2sCamping%20Ginasservis%2C%2030%20Rue%20Georges%20Cisson%2C%2083560%20Ginasservis!3m2!1d43.673021999999996!2d5.847677!4m5!1s0x12cbe849a7cac541%3A0x331be4e20a657935!2sRiez!3m2!1d43.817386899999995!2d6.093344!5e0!3m2!1sfr!2sfr!4v1675255782940!5m2!1sfr!2sfr\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"Lure-img\" class=\"ls-section  page-parallax p-b-0 has-background-image has-parallax has-p-t p-t-30 has-p-b p-b-30\" >\n    <div class=\"ls-section__background-image opacity-100\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camping-ginasservis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/montagne-lure-provence.jpg\" alt=\"montagne lure provence\"><\/div>    <div class=\"container container--wide\">\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"Lure-txt\" class=\"ls-section \" >\n        <div class=\"container container--full\">\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"ls__heading has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">The mountain of Lure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-l-6 p-r-4 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">A natural border for Provence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The mountain of Lure extends from Sisteron to the pass of Negron, and culminates at 1826 meters. It links the mountains of Albion and the Ventoux and plays the role of natural border for Provence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Two contrasting sides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The chain results from a great tectonic movement. The whole southern flank of the mountain is a very thick mass of limestone dating from the Lower Cretaceous. On the ubac, outcrops of softer rocks explain the longitudinal depression between the main ridge and the parallel slopes that dominate the Jabron. This difference can be seen in the distribution of springs: frequent on the ubac, they are rare on the adret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Heaths and aromatic lawns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">At the exit of Saint-Etienne, the road first crosses old communal lands, worn by centuries of grazing. The most obvious plants are mostly thorny and aromatic &#8220;herd rejects&#8221; that are not eaten by the animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The white oak floor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Around 800 meters, the road enters the woods of Provencal &#8220;white oaks&#8221;. They are the most dominant hardwoods of the high-Proven\u00e7al hilly stage. It is usually found in a crowned state due to frequent cutting. This exploitation, which takes place every 20 to 25 years, weakens the wooded environment and alters the soil. Undergrowth grazing, often combined with winter burning, further accelerates this degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The beech floor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Around 1200 meters, the forest landscape changes radically with <strong>the appearance of the beech<\/strong> which, in the Mediterranean region, is an altitude species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">The beech forest of Lure, usually treated as a coppice, is much wetter than that of the Ventoux.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-r-6 p-l-4 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">Scots pine woods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Going up the south face, we cross several <strong>times the pine woods,<\/strong> exploited by the paper mill or the wood processing industry. It is around 1400 or 1500 meters that this forest environment is the most original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The beech-fir forest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">This type of forest occupies most of the ubac. The <strong>Lure fir<\/strong> is a tree often stunted, moreover affected in recent years by drought. The flora does not differ appreciably from that of the beech forest, but it is generally more exuberant, especially in the gaps. One can discover there a remarkable vegetal ensemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The ridges of Lure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Around 1600 meters, near the refuge of Lure, the forest suddenly gives way to moors and summit grasslands. This open environment, with a very alpine look despite the low altitude, is the result of successive deforestation and grazing. On a mistral day, the view is exceptional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m28!1m12!1m3!1d367992.5949043149!2d5.569333236591227!3d43.89846490537489!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m13!3e0!4m5!1s0x12cbd65094df8f13%3A0x901a3d174ccc53b7!2sCamping%20Ginasservis%2C%2030%20Rue%20Georges%20Cisson%2C%2083560%20Ginasservis!3m2!1d43.673021999999996!2d5.847677!4m5!1s0x12cbadc33fc83a85%3A0x905dff4b3657b09b!2sMontagne%20de%20Lure%2C%2004200%20Noyers-sur-Jabron!3m2!1d44.123183!2d5.802505!5e0!3m2!1sfr!2sfr!4v1675181179827!5m2!1sfr!2sfr\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"St-Victoire-img\" class=\"ls-section  page-parallax p-b-0 has-background-image has-parallax has-p-t p-t-30 has-p-b p-b-30\" >\n    <div class=\"ls-section__background-image opacity-100\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camping-ginasservis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/montagne-sainte-victoire.jpg\" alt=\"montagne sainte victoire\"><\/div>    <div class=\"container container--wide\">\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"St-Victoire-txt\" class=\"ls-section \" >\n        <div class=\"container container--full\">\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"ls__heading has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">The Sainte Victoire mountain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column p-l-6 p-r-4 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"ls-heading wp-block-heading\">The Sainte-Victoire massif extends over 18 kilometers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Massif which extends between the departments of Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne and Var <strong>for 5 kilometers wide.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Its summit is <strong>the peak of the Flies.<\/strong> It is one of <strong>the highest peaks in the Bouches-du-Rh\u00f4ne department<\/strong>, after the peak of Bertagne which reaches an altitude of 1,042 meters and is located on the Sainte-Baume massif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\"><strong>6 525 ha du massif de la Sainte Victoire ont \u00e9t\u00e9 class\u00e9s depuis 1983.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"ls-paragraph\">Its east-west orientation leads to a great difference in sunlight between the north and south faces, and therefore to a difference in vegetation.
