Nice place. Unfortunately the baker is on vacation in mid-June 2024.

A small tranquil place on a mountain. You definitely have to pedal uphill here, but you can linger on the small square in the middle of the village.

It is Saint-Michel-l'Oberservatoire. Indeed a lovely place to stay. In the middle of a nice climb to the observatory.

A very nice view of the small perched town of Banon and its surroundings. There is a fort overlooking the valley.
