Nice passage above the Durance. I recommend chaining it along the Durance by the Hippocampe campsite, it's pretty.

This small village is called L'Escale, quite simply because Napoleon during the 100 days and his escape from the island of Elba stopped in the castle of this small town. This must have marked the spirits of the time.

This beautiful part of the trail strays slightly from the Durance and gives you a glimpse of the geological formation of the Mées penitents in the distance. The trail itself is very pleasant to walk.

At the edge of the Durance and very close to the campsite, just after passing the charming village of Volonne, you move on a beautiful road.

On the banks of the Bléone river and the canal, this village is perfect for taking a drink break before setting off again on the trails.

From this small pass, you have a very beautiful view, and your first glimpse of the Durance valley.
