Destination of Pays de Manosque
As the weeks go by, nature comes back to life: the hills turn green, the first almond trees in bloom discreetly dot the landscape, and the lavender fields slowly begin their cycle. The warm, clear spring light sublimates the relief of Haute-Provence and invites you to slow down.
Between the turquoise waters of the Verdon, the open panoramas of the Luberon and the luminous landscapes of the Pays de Manosque, the region offers a wide variety of atmospheres. It's the ideal place to recharge your batteries and enjoy the great outdoors, between moments of contemplation and sporting activities.
Hiking, mountain biking, gravel, trail running or climbing: there's something for everyone. Trails wind through forests, plateaus and picturesque villages, offering new perspectives at every turn. Provencal markets, sunny terraces and local flavours complete the experience.
In spring, the Destination du Pays de Manosque is an invitation to breathe, explore and enjoy a region in full renaissance.
