The tower beautifully lit at night and overlooking Manosque.
The beautifully lit tower overlooking Manosque at night is the remains of an ancient castle built in the 10th century by the Count of Arles, Bozon. It was inhabited by his son Guillaume, but over the centuries the building gradually fell into ruin, and today only a section of wall remains. The hill was once overgrown with broom (hence the name Mont d'Or), but today olive trees have reclaimed the area. It's the perfect spot for a pleasant stroll to admire the panoramic view over the Durance valley and the Valensole plateau in the distance.

Vous pouvez vous garer facilement à proximité du site.
Après s’être garé sur le petit parking sous les amandiers, on accède à pieds à la tour par une petite route au milieu des oliviers. Pour ceux qui craignent la chaleur, il faut considérer que la montée à la tour sous le soleil peut être fatigante tout particulièrement en juillet et en août lorsque la chaleur est au maximum.
Il n’y a pas grand-chose à voir mais cela vaut le détour pour le panorama et la végétation exceptionnelle.
