The Route de la Lavande : iIt would be impossible to
imagine the Pays de Forcalquier, in the heart of the summer, without
the deep blues stretching towards the horizon and perfuming the
villages and countryside. The heady essences will bring back
memories of old wardrobes, the winding lanes climbing towards the
belfry and beautiful summer mornings...
The Mountain of Lure has its highest point at 1826
metres and extends from east to west over some fifty kilometres.
Lure borrows its exceptional sunny weather to the mediterranean
climate and the coolness of its winds to the Alps. The encounter of
these two worlds has given the flora an exceptional richness and for
a long time the picking and transformation of plants was a
prosperous activity for the villages at the foot of the Mountain of
Lure. Until the second world war, lumbering and local transformation
of wood into charcoal were an important part of the regional
economy.
Today it is a
space dedicated to the activities of full air (excursion, strolls,
gathering) and to tourism.
