Location & Climate

The Community of Communes of Moyenne Durance's territory is a space of balance and transition between the Mediterranean mildness and the harshness of high mountains which are 3,500 metres at their highest point.

Located only at an average altitude of 450 metres against the hill and in the middle of lavender fields and olive trees, nice hiking paths and a wild nature are on our doorsteps.

With 300 days of sunshine per year, a dry and pure air, fresh nights in the summer... this is a very pleasant region.

In the winter,
we can enjoy ski pistes which are only 1 hour away.

In the summer,
we can enjoy the sea, the deep narrow creeks and the beaches of the Mediterannean sea which is only 1 hour away.

What else can you ask for ?
This is indisputably an ideal place of residence
Jealous ?
You can !
