Camping Le Cians La Bulle du Cians in Beuil, Alpes-Maritimes

This round-trip route links the villages of Sausses and Castellet-lès-Sausses.

You'll straddle the 1860 border before the Comté de Nice became part of Provence. A milestone marking this boundary can still be seen at Col St Pons. Cross the small bridge towards the village exit, and turn right towards the cemetery and the small Notre-Dame chapel. Follow the road for about 50 m, then take the path that climbs to the right towards Castellet-lès-Sausses. The path winds its way up a fairly steep slope to a crossroads, where you need to turn right. Continue along this path for about 1.5km before joining a track in the woods called "Le Chabanal". Follow this track for about 2.3km until you rejoin the path at an altitude of 1436m. On the left, you can admire the pretty rounded summit of Mourre-Frey. The trail then continues to climb slightly for around 500m, before descending into the Belon ravine. Cross the Petit Riou and continue along the path until you reach the ridge of the same name. From here, admire the pretty view to the north-west, towards the tête de Travers. Reach the Pas de Belon at 1263m and continue down the path below, on the side of the Saint-Pons ravine. Turn right at the first junction, then right again at the second junction. The path then leads to the Col de Saint Pons, where you can admire an ancient boundary marker between the Kingdom of France and the County of Savoy. From this pass, descend below towards Sausses. The path has some slightly steeper sections in marl and limestone. It eventually leads to the small, asphalted Colette road, which winds its way down to the village center. At this point, reach the small Riou de Sausses bridge.

The path overhangs and then crosses the Besseuges stream, which marked the ancient border between Provence and the County of Nice, and then you reach the end of the world.

Leaving Entrevaux, classified as one of France's most beautiful villages, the trail passes the hermitage of St Jean du Désert, before reaching the hamlet of Ourges via the St Jean ravine. Past the St Joseph bridge, you reach Le Feït via a balcony.

Walk through the narrow winding streets of Entrevaux from Porte Royale to Porte d’Italie, then continue on a high path on a ledge above the Var which runs alongside olive trees cultivated in terraces. The olives are harvested each winter and then transported to the communal oil mill

In the foothills of the Gourdan mountain, you can discover the small Saint Saturnin chapel and a magnificent panoramic view of the Chanan valley, the mountains of Miolans, Cheiron and Mount Vial.

A forest walk through the little Siberia of the Southern Alps.

Leaving from Entrevaux, an exceptional medieval town, this challenging itinerary combines the beauty of man-made scenery with olive-growing terraces and physical exertion. It invites you to explore its winding roads, natural surroundings and wild landscapes. From Entrevaux, head for Val de Chavagne and the villages of St Pierre, Collonques, Briançonnet, Ubraye and the clues de Rouaine on route nationale 202. At the Gueydan bridge, turn right to return to Entrevaux. This route will leave you with unforgettable memories of Haute-Provence.

Sheltered behind the walls of the city's fortifications and along the Var river, several exhibitions bear witness to the traditions, customs and history of the people of Entrevalais. During the medieval period, the present fortified town of Entrevaux formed a sort of "castral town" located in a meander of the Var, which provided an excellent natural entrenchment. It is dominated from above by the castle, but without direct communication with it. However, this settlement is neither the only one, nor the oldest known settlement on the site, which is divided into three interdependent and more or less intertwined toponymic and topographic entities. Originally Entrevaux was a civitate in the High Middle Ages, the seat of a diocese, known as Glandèves, but whose prestige clearly declined in the Low Middle Ages. The site of the cathedral church and the diocesan house was then distinct from the walled town, located a few hundred metres downstream in the Var plain at a place called La Seds. You will take many vaulted passages along the old walkway which once linked the Porte de France to the Porte d'Italie. This walk, thanks to numerous exhibitions, is also the testimony of the traditions, customs and history of the people of Entreval, inhabitants, artists or even soldiers who lived or passed between the walls of the City. Your visit will end by crossing one of the 2 bastions created by Vauban. Every year an exhibition loaned by the Ecomusée Roudoule en Terre Gavotte is installed there. Various themes are thus approached presenting the history, the ways of life and the traditions of the inhabitants of our valleys. Photographic walk of an Entrevalais 1900-1937 As you walk along the Chemin de Ronde, discover the life of the Entrevalais and the landscapes of the Var valley at the beginning of the 20th century, captured with emotion by the amateur and inspired photographer Désiré Sic. The man was born on 29 June 1883. As a young man, he discovered photography and devoted most of his life to it, taking a wide variety of pictures ranging from landscapes to portraits and from ceremonial reportage to art photography. More than a hundred photographs chosen from several thousand glass plates, deposited by his descendants in the Archives Départementales des Alpes de Haute-Provence, evoke his deep attachment to his village and its inhabitants. His long military career began in Nice in 1909 and ended in 1934 in Morocco. He then returned to his native town for an active retirement, before passing away on 29 September 1972.

In the 16th century, France was at war with Europe. The development of artillery and the siege of Charles V's troops in 1536 showed the inadequacy of Entrevaux's ancient medieval fortifications Louis XIV entrusted Vauban with the creation of a fortified line of which Entrevaux was a part, thus locking the access to the middle of Provence. Access : The communication path from the town to the castle, whose 9 zig-zag ramps cut through the Entrevaux rock in such a characteristic way, was built on Vauban's orders from 1693. Before his intervention, the Citadel could only be reached by leaving the town, via the mountain, which made communication impossible for men and animals in the event of a siege. The powder magazine (on the left after the entrance) Now transformed into a museum retracing the "military" history of Entrevaux, its 58m2 could once hold 9,000 kg of gunpowder. This is far too much for the square of Entrevaux and extremely dangerous. The Path The path starts in front of the powder magazine, the 2nd and 3rd ramps lead to the 2 "forts" called Fort Langrune and Fort Pandol, named after their builder. The "grande rampe" and the following ramps offer beautiful views over the territory of Entrevaux. At the end of the last ramp, the entrance to the castle is guarded by a small redoubt with a drawbridge dating from 1693. On the right are the solitary confinement cells built during the First World War for the recalcitrant prisoners of the disciplinary companies from 1917 to 1922. The emergency gate (at the rear), with its guardhouse, communicates with the countryside via a drawbridge and a standing bridge over an impressive moat. This was also created by Vauban, as the medieval city only had one entrance accessible by a ladder! An underground access dug under the citadel connects 2 sides and could protect the garrison in case of bombardment. To the left of the last ramp, you go up to the entrance of the castle. This includes 3 barracks, a bakery and the commander's house, also called the keep because it is situated at the highest point. Large cellars and 3 cisterns gave the castle a resistance capacity of several months in case of siege. Today, the ensemble is more or less in the same state as when Vauban discovered it around 1700, as the major transformations he envisaged were never carried out.

An unforgettable ride through the Haut Pays Niçois and Haute Provence on the steam Train des Pignes or the locomotive. From the land of the olive tree to that of the chestnut tree, via Entrevaux and its citadel, immerse yourself in the charm of travel in days gone by.
