Travel Guide Francillon-Sur-Roubion

A charming village. Between the Alps and Provence, this village of 160 inhabitants, nestled at an altitude of 350 m at the foot of the Vaire hill, was built around the 11th-century Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre. The town's well-preserved architecture and controlled development have resulted in a traditional, stone-built habitat. The site boasts an exceptional panoramic view of the Saoû forest, dominated by the Trois Becs and, opposite, the Grand Delmas (1,544 m). The ideal base camp for hiking, horse-riding or cycling. Take a dip in the Roubion, sometimes a river, sometimes a torrent, and laze in the sun on the rocks of Gourd du Saut.
