Hameau de Tanaron et le rocher Gassendi

The very pretty village of Tanaron was renovated after having been subjected to 19th century, like many villages of the Haute-Alpes-Provence, a strong rural exodus. The rock dominating the village was a astronomical observation site of Pierre Gassendi.

At the entrance to the Clue de Peroué, reach the abandoned hamlet of Vieil Esclangon at the foot of the Montagne du Blayeul. After the Refuge d'Art, continue to the Collet viewpoint which offers an exceptional panorama of the velodrome on the right bank of the Bès.
