Tourist Attractions & Monuments en Provence

This museum is part of the Musée de la Vallée network, which has a total of five establishments throughout the Ubaye valley, a very instructive network for those who want to know about life in the past in this valley.

In Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye, come and discover the panorama of agricultural machines and tools collected in Ubaye. This museum exhibits the tools, gestures and work of Ubaye rural society, before it was invaded by mechanisation and the generalisation of trade. It also presents two specific activities in this territory: the work of hemp and wool at that time. It is dedicated to the blacksmith Albert Manuel, who provided it with models that are both beautiful and educational, teaching the traditional gestures of the valley: transporting wood, water mills... An old-fashioned kitchen has also been reconstructed, with a collection of old clothes and naturalized animals.

A very good point to note: this structure is sensitive to the reception of disabled people. Guided tours, small workshops, film screenings... help you discover the museum. Temporary exhibitions are also regularly held there.

Finally, we point out that during its opening period and only in high season, it houses a Tourist Information Point, which can be very practical on site, because otherwise the nearest Tourist Information Office is in Jausier. A double reason to visit this nice little museum!

A beautiful stretch of water bordered by lawns and trees, with beaches and supervised swimming, tennis courts, basketball and beach volleyball courts, a climbing wall, children's games and shaded picnic areas, as well as a giant zip line that runs directly into the water and a water ski lift! The entrance fee includes the use of the playgrounds and access to the beach. There is a snack bar on site, the Chalet du Lac, which is open all day and which, in the evening, becomes a friendly and welcoming restaurant where you can dine à la carte.

This local tourist information office of Verdon Tourisme offers a lot of practical and tourist information, also available on its website. It does not organise activities itself but works in close collaboration with several specialised service providers (paragliding, sailing on the lake, fishing in the Verdon...). In case of closure, you can contact the inter-communal office of Castellane, of which it is a branch office.

Dating back to the th century, this Romanesque Romanesque chapel is all that remains of a priory founded by the Abbey Saint-Michel-de-la-Gorges (Piedmont). From the th century to the th century, the Priory was held by the Order of Malta. Painted wooden altar, statues, paintings, motif on the ceiling of the choir are to be seen inside. Since 1992, there have been masses for the Saint Laurent (10/8) and All.
