The Belvedere of St Jean is an ideal walk to enjoy a beautiful view of the Durance Valley. The furniture and stained glass windows were made by the artist Bernar Venet, a sculptor, now world-renowned and a native of the town.

pr
Departure from the town hall of Château-Arnoux, starting from the Renaissance castle, first cross the old village to the Blachon cemetery. From there, the circuit takes a forest track in the middle of the pine woods before joining the Jean Baptiste road, built in 1667. A little extra effort takes you to the orientation table which overlooks the building and which offers you a view of the Durance Valley. The return is through the dry coppices of oaks and maples. At the bottom of the hill, join the town hall in 500m, by the road of the St Jean reservoirs, then on the left the road of Pierraret and on the right the climb of the oratory.
