Lurs

Guide of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

Travel Guide > France > Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur > Alpes-de-Haute-Provence > Lurs

Offering a panoramic view over the Durance valley, the charming hilltop village of Lurs is a lovely place to wander around with its flower-decked streets lined with tastefully-restored stone houses, a Romanesque church, clock tower, delightful little open-air theatre and château, once the home of the bishops of Sisteron. Make a point of walking down the Promenade des Évèques, a beautiful footpath lined with 15 shrines that leads to Notre-Dame de Vie chapel. From the chapel, the view over the Durance valley, Valensole plateau, Lure mountain and the foothills of the Alps at Digne is really superb!

The Rencontres Internationales de Lure, a graphic arts and calligraphy event, is held there every last week of August.
