Explore La javie, a gem in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

At the start of the area of Le Brusquet, take the path to the forest house. You will then ride the famous Terres Noires. The return is mainly on singletracks (60%) very fun and playful.

Very pretty hike above Archail. Superb panorama throughout the walk as well as at the top. Magical passage on the Pas d'Archail, between the summit of the Pic de Couard and the Cucuyon. Very pleasant setting. The departure is from the village of Archail. The road to the village is quite narrow and there can be snow or ice in winter. Arriving in Archail, park in the main square next to the church. Go up the road to the left of the church then turn right at the fork shortly after. If the road is not blocked, there is the possibility of parking a little further away in a small car park at the Vieraron dam. At the Vieraron dam, leave the tarmac to continue on a wide path. Ignore further on a departure on the left and continue straight to reach a track. Cross the latter and go straight to find it higher. Cross the track again to take the path that climbs opposite and reach a complex intersection. Turn left on the path which begins a series of bends further on before reaching Pas d'Archail where there is a refuge and an old shepherd's hut. Continue on the right, pass in front of the refuge then leave the track to take a path on the right. After a few bends, the path widens and the slope softens as it crosses the managed biological reserve of Pic de Couard. Turn right with the path; the slope becomes steeper and the path climbs in bends to the summit of Pic de Couard. There is little signage and if you lose the path, head towards the ridge to the left of the summit. The return is by the same route to the village (D/A).

This hike leads to the Belvédère d'Esclangon and the Col de l'Escuichière where there is an Art Refuge by the artist Andy Goldworthy. The route begins in the Bès valley and takes a winding path through clay soils to the pass. Take the D900 towards Barles, to the village of Esclangon (25 min from Digne-les-Bains). At the foot of the village, after the green bridge, turn right onto the road that winds past the houses. Park on the flat ground before the start of the rocky track. Continue on foot on the track for 600 m. Take a small path on the right that climbs into the red clay. The single path climbs steeply through the Aiguebelle forest to the pass. Go down the other side for 100 m and turn off onto the left. We join a wider track below where the Refuge d'Art is located. Fascinated by the black stones veined with white (calcite) found at the edge of the site, Andy Goldworthy created two works from this material, seeking through a meticulous assembly of these stones to draw lines of flow. “Whatever I undertake, I try to understand not only the stone or the leaf but this flow of life, death, decay, energy present in the material. A river is the very expression of flow, connection and movement and I feel the need to find the river in a tree, in a stone. I think that here this sculpture is an attempt to find the flow, the water, in the stone. It is a line of energy, movement and flow.” Andy Goldsworthy

Starting from other three villages (Draix, la Javie, Le Brusquet) served by this route, you will discover the famous Terres Noires. Starting from Marcoux, cross the Bourg river to climb a long track to the top of the Emporte sources. From Marcoux, cross the river in the village to climb a long track to the top of the sources of the Emporte. A long path begins, alternating between fast and technical sections to finish in the black earth. Then go back up in the village of Draix, water point at the fountain, access to the ridges is made by a track. The return is made by a track to the Javie to finish by a balcony path to reach the starting point.

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.

This beautiful loop in the heart of the Bès valley will allow you to discover the Facibelle blade, and several works by three artists from the L'Art en montagne collection of the Gassendi Museum: Paul Armand Gette, herman de vries* and Joan Fontcuberta. From the parking lot, the discovery begins with the two works of Paul Armand Gette: 0 m. (read zero meters). Zero meters is one of the signs used by botanists to indicate the beginning of an area to be observed. In Gette's work, it is a tool for designating certain specificities of the territory and acquires a new dimension, between openness and poetic interpretations. The first, 0 m., Au fond du lit de la rivière (Oligocène !) (2011) is visible opposite the parking lot, on the large rock block to the right of the path going up to Vieil Esclangon. "It takes a lot of attention to discover the small pebbles that have settled in the bed of this Oligocene river (about 28 million years)." Paul Armand Gette. The second will be visible by going up the road 250m higher, on rock strata on your right: 0 m., Les effets du contact (2011). Here the artist invites you to observe the contact between the Tertiary and Secondary layers, to imagine the nature of this contact, its strength or its delicacy… Still on the road, pass the Péouré tunnel: a first work by herman de vries*, parfait (Sanskrit) (2004-2006) is engraved in gold leaf in the rock, on the other side of the Bès. Then take the track on the left (4 mailboxes), until a bridge. The path then goes off to the left. You will climb up to the crest and go back down on the other side. It is there, after several zigzags and 350m that you will find large rocks fallen from the cliff, on the edge of the path: ambulo ergo sum (1999-2001) by herman de vries* is on the one closest to the passage. herman de vries* is a naturalist by profession. His view of the world is strongly influenced by oriental philosophy. For him, nature is sufficient in itself and does not need to be embellished by art: "nature is art", he says, because it is perpetual creation. ambulo ergo sum (Latin, I walk therefore I am) invites the hiker to reflect on the link between the consciousness of existing and the activity of the body, here in this case that of walking. It also evokes the movement of mountains and stones in our Digne region so rich in geological history. From this work you will come across, here and there, the sanctuary of nature and its sacred wood, again by herman de vries* (1999-2003). Through these black spikes topped with a golden tip, the artist demarcates a space where despite the past presence of humans, nature has reclaimed its rights. He invites us to respect and observe this place and this nature. The path climbs gently into the forest, at the next crossroads you will discover another entrance to the sanctuary. The path passes to the left of the Chapelle Saint-Jean. A little before, a last entrance is on the left edge, put on your glasses, it is well hidden in the middle of the beech forest! You will then go over the ridge and go back down on the sunny side to the Lame de Facibelle, a remarkable element of Digne's geology. Go back down to the Bès footbridge. But just before crossing it, you can discover the work of Joan Fontcuberta,La Sainte Famille des Hydropithèques (2011). You have to take the path along the Bès on the left. Make your way between the box trees to climb to the foot of the cliff, and there you will find this bas-relief which is part of a museographic device entirely devoted to falsification. With this project, La route des Hydropithèques, the artist questions science and the museum functioning as places of construction of knowledge and legitimation of values. Other mermaid fossils are thus visible throughout the territory and an installation is presented at the Gassendi museum. After crossing the Bès, go back up the road for 300m. When the road widens, after the parking lot, a 0 m. marking La mer burdigalienne by Paul Armand Gette is visible on the rocky slope located to the right of the road. You are invited, why not, along the way up to the car park, to reflect on the ancient presence of this sea. *we respect the artist's wish not to use capital letters, a form of hierarchy Find the full description of the routes in the L'Art en montagne collection in the Topo guide "L'Art en montagne, 22 hikes to discover contemporary art in the Haute-Provence Geopark" (€15), available at the reception of the Gassendi museum, the Maison Alexandra David-Neel, and the Tourist Office.

Beautiful hike from the Clues de Barles towards the impressive panorama of the Vélodrome d'Esclangon via the Refuge d'Art du Vieil Esclangon by Andy Goldsworthy. A fairly easy route offering beautiful views in all seasons. At the entrance to the Clue de Peroué, reach the abandoned hamlet of Vieil Esclangon at the foot of the Blayeul Mountain. 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. From the top of the Serre hill overlooking the abandoned village of Esclangon, the view to the west opens onto one of the most beautiful geological panoramas in the Alps: the Vélodrome d'Esclangon which is in fact on the Tanaron terroir. This magnificent cirque is formed by continuous deposits for almost 15 million years of sand, clay then pebbles and blocks in a marine basin then emerged. The spectacular aspect of the site comes from the fact that the layers of sediment were deformed as they were deposited in a compression basin. Then erosion did its work highlighting the most resistant layers like the astonishing blade of Facibelle, an extraordinary monolith that emerges from the forest.

This hike starts from the village square in Marcoux and takes you to the Limans ridge, which marks the boundary between the Bès and Bléone valleys. Beautiful views of the Tête de l'Estrop, Cheval Blanc and Pic de Couard.

Discover the reforestation work carried out at the end of the 19th century on the initiative of forester Prosper Demontzey. From the pass, the path passes through a completely artificial forest that did not exist 200 years ago and was planted to combat erosion. The return journey takes you through the hamlet of Haut Vernet and the Parc Demontzey. Parc Demontzey (1,220 m) - From the car park, climb to the right along the gated forest track. At the crossroads, go straight ahead then take the path on the right at the first hairpin bend. It twists and turns through the forest until it reaches a wider path below a ridge. Follow it to the left, sometimes staying on the ridge, sometimes on the north-facing slope, crossing several ravines and coming to a crossroads. Climb to the right to reach a forest track. Take the path opposite and, after a number of hairpin bends, rejoin the track a little further up. Follow it to the right. After a hairpin bend and a crossing, it ends in a loop. Continue straight ahead on the track, ignoring the side tracks. Just before its end, turn left down a path, cross two ravines and emerge above a clearing. Continue in the same direction, paying close attention to the markings, and rejoin the path a little further on. Descend to the left bank of the ravine and then into the ravine itself. The path then crosses to the right bank and turns into a track to reach the hamlet of Haut Vernet. Le Haut Vernet (1,300 m) - Turn left and drive past the cemetery. Turn right and then straight ahead at the next two crossroads. The track descends through meadows, crosses the Auches ravine and continues through the forest. At a wide bend to the right, go down a path to the left that joins the Demontzey park.

A Haute Provence Geopark site to discover by car, bike, bicycle or foot… On the road from Digne les Bains towards Barles, the canyon gets so narrow that it becomes difficult for two cars to cross! This rocky landscape sculpted by nature is even more enjoyable by foot. This geological formation is called “Clues de Barles” in French. The word “clue” comes from Latin “clausus” which means “closed”. Such a small canyon is, therefore, a pass way almost closed, made by a river. The Barles Canyon was made by the Bès River, within limestone dating from the end of the Jurassic or from the early inferior Cretaceous period (i.e. between 155 and 140 million years). The Bès River made its way through vertical and very thick layers, taking advantage of the rock’s weaknesses. At the beginning of the Barles Canyon, contemporary artist Andy Goldsworthy installed one of his stone “Sentinels”. This sculpture is part of the land art itinerary “Refuge d’Art”. Geology around Barles Many geological expeditions were ran around Barles. This location is known worldwide for the diversity and the complexity of its tectonic and sedimentary phenomenon. From the XVIIth Century, at the time of local scientist and philosopher Gassendi, scientists were intrigued by the peculiar layout of rocks in the region of Digne and by the origin of mysterious fossils. However, geology developed in the Southern Alps only at the beginning of the XIXth Century. Before the end of this century, discoveries were made easy by the mountains’ nudity. Cleared by centuries of culture and collect of wood, they let outcrops, slabs and fossils show. Right after 1945, Barles became a base camp for stratigraphy and tectonic specialists, paleontologists…

The Musée-Promenade stands as the interpretive centre of the UNESCO Geopark of Haute-Provence. Visitors wander through a sprawling shaded park where pathways and streams intertwine, and where cascades and contemporary artworks come together to create an enchanting setting. "Picnic facilities and open toilets are available. Embark on a journey to encounter butterflies, wander leisurely or learn about the geological history of the region and the global network of UNESCO Geoparks. Internationally renowned artists such as Andy Glodsworthy, Joan Fontcuberta, Sylvie Bussières or Agathe Larpent got their inspiration from here. An area for wandering and creation, overlooking Digne from its rock, it immerses the visitor in a quiet atmosphere leading him to the heart of the Earth’s memory… In the exhibition rooms, the last 300 million years of Earth’s history unfold before our eyes. In ancient times, the alpine ocean was covering the region. Tropical marine aquariums illustrate this memory, juxtaposing colourful living species with stone fossils, of which Ammonites and Ichthyosaurs are the kings. A film tells the history and the evolution of the landscapes of the region as well as the great transformations that the Earth has undergone. It enables each person to grasp the extraordinary richness of this territory. Japanese garden To discover within the Musée Promenade : the Kamaïshi Japanese garden. Of Japanese inspiration,this garden was conceived as a tribute to the twinning of Digne and Kamaïshi around the theme of “Man and the Seasons”. The various stages of a person’s life are represented through progressive blooms along the pathway. Each entrance is marked by a Japanese-style gate, inviting visitors to enter the garden. A bridge, a pond, paths, benches, carefully chosen vegetation, lanterns and pagodas coexist harmoniously in this timeless space accessible to all (with wheelchair access).
