We could also call it "the luna park" or "the roller coaster", a real pleasure...

This small village is called L'Escale, quite simply because Napoleon during the 100 days and his escape from the island of Elba stopped in the castle of this small town. This must have marked the spirits of the time.

This beautiful part of the trail strays slightly from the Durance and gives you a glimpse of the geological formation of the Mées penitents in the distance. The trail itself is very pleasant to walk.

At the edge of the Durance and very close to the campsite, just after passing the charming village of Volonne, you move on a beautiful road.
