Sisteron

 Tuesday 15/04/25

Lavender field directly behind our caravan.

We had to pop out for some supplies this morning and, as it wasn't raining as much as expected, we decided to make a detour into Sisteron town centre, a short drive along the  Durance river.  This gave us an opportunity to stretch our legs a bit, something we'd missed over the past few days of long driving.

Very dramatic rock formations.

As you can see from the photos, it is a very old commune nestled against the banks of the river, overlooked by the Citadel, a 12th century hilltop fortress.  We haven't been up to it yet but a visit is definitely on the cards.

France just keeps on giving, we're not running out of stunning places to visit any time soon.

A cousin of Orthos, or someone's supper?
