Holiday apartments and houses in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

What do you need to experience in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence?

The "other" Provence in the mountains

Discover the sights and the wonderful nature surrounding your accommodation, your cheap holiday home, for example in the main spa town of Digne-les-Bains or in La Motte-du-Caire, or your holiday apartment for the trip to the department of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. One of the highlights is the imposing Citadel of Sisteron. The history of the fortress dates back to the 11th century. The citadel guards the passage between Provence and Dauphiné. French military was stationed at the fortress until the beginning of the 20th century. In the small town of Forcalquier, there is another citadel built in the late 19th century, as well as some worth seeing churches and monasteries. The Franciscan convent Les Cordeliers dates back to the 13th century, and the monastery Les Visitandines to the 17th century. The many monasteries in the region are reflected in the naming of the landscape. A bizarre rock formation near Les Mées reminds one of a group of monks in their robes. The rocks are called "The Penitents" or in French "Les Pénitents". The alpine character becomes apparent in the French Maritime Alps in the Mercantour National Park (Parc national du Mercantour) with the over 3,000-meter-high peak Cime de Gélas. In two of the valleys, Vallée des Merveilles and Vallée de Fontanalbe, there are about 35,000 Bronze Age rock carvings. The images depict humans and animals as well as tools and mysterious geometric figures. Rent a chic accommodation or a house or an apartment with a pool, a view of the nature and complete privacy, and enjoy an unforgettable trip according to your personal wishes in one of the most beautiful holiday destinations in France.
