Manosque is the largest town in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department. Located on the Durance, it is full of charm with a rich past. Mont d'Or is a short walk from the city center and is worth the detour!

Mountain biking

The charming old town is currently riddled with many construction sites and therefore not particularly attractive

Manosque is a small town located near the Durance valley on the borders of the Lubéron. It is the hometown of Jean Giono, one of the most famous Provençal writers. In his book "A Hussar on the Roof", a large part of this novel, written by Giono, takes place in the town of Manosque and its hinterland.
