Path along the ligne de Livron à Aspres-sur-Buëch

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From D’Aouste-Sur-Sye to Saillans, the route passes near vineyards and the first cellars of the AOC Clairette de Die appellation, a fruity and sparkling wine. In summer, lavender fields and other aromatic plants are in bloom. Pretty swimming spots promise a refreshing stop.

Crest Tower

Highlight • Castle

The Grand’Rue de Crest, the main artery of the city, is punctuated by the characteristic facades of buildings and mansions built between the Renaissance and the 19th century. Note: the figures of the Seven Deadly Sins on the listed facade of the Maison de la Tour du Pin. The majestic Tour de Crest, the highest keep in France, overlooks the city from a height of 52 meters. A former fortress then a state prison, the Tower bears unique witness to medieval times and prison life.

Saillans Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

Located at the foot of the Trois Becs massif, Saillans is the gateway to Diois, the Drôme Prealps. To discover: a Romanesque church from the 12th century, a Protestant temple from the 19th century, as well as a marble stele dating from the Voconces in front of the Tourist Office. Narrow streets, the violes, lead you straight to the old gates and towers of the ramparts, the Porte du Pont, the Portail du Moulin, the Porte neuve de Véronne, the Tour neuve, the Tour de Beaucastel and the Tour Mayor. The town hall's council chamber is classified as a Historic Monument.
