Your adventure begins in the center of Volonne, through a maze of small, typically Provençal streets. The smell of warm stone and the shade of ancient facades accompany you as the path gently climbs. Leave the murmur of the village behind for the calm of the forest. The trail becomes rocky, lined with green oak trees that filter the sunlight. It's a peaceful climb, a moment to breathe in the fresh air and reconnect with what matters most. Your efforts are quickly rewarded. Once you reach the ridge, the horizon suddenly opens up. From the Saint-Antoine viewpoints, you can look out over a magnificent landscape:
• The green ribbon of the Durance river winding below.
• The sanctuary of the bird sanctuary, a true haven of peace for birds.
• A picture-postcard setting where the mysterious silhouettes of the Pénitents des Mées and the proud rock of Saint-Jean de Château-Arnoux stand out.
Keep your eyes peeled! The trail is dotted with fascinating information panels. They will transform your walk into a real exploration, revealing the secrets of the local flora and fauna that are the pride of our region. The return journey follows the same route, giving you a second chance to enjoy these exceptional views from a new angle.
