Contadour
It feels like at the end of the world, an extraordinary place, at 1100 m above sea level.Traditionally, there were sheep coming from Basse Provence and leaving for summer pastures in the Alps (hence its name).
You will find the dry stone sheepfold which is among the most beautiful of the territory. It is here that Jean Giono filmed "Croesus".
The dry stone jas is also a starting point for many hikes or a stopping point on a tour of the Montagne de Lure.
