Things to see and do Digne-Les-Bains

Here is a fascinating visit! Alexandra David-Neel was the first European woman to enter the forbidden city of Lhasa in Tibet in 1924. Anarchist, feminist and journalist, born in Paris in 1868, she left her mark on the very masculine world of adventure and exploration. She settled in Digne in 1928 in her house Samten Dzong or "residence of reflection" where she wrote her works in her Tibetan room. A villa-museum is incredibly rich!
