"We have four beautiful seasons here, with at least 300 days of sunshine a year; it's not as dry and hot as it gets further south, yet not humid or cold like other parts of France. Only August tends to be really hot, with a warm springtime, and mellow autumn, and while winters are quite mild, ski enthusiasts will always find slopes in easy reach."
"People come here for the stunning natural landscapes, clean air and a sense of calm. It's a paradise for hiking and climbing and of course cycling, which is a Sunday sport for all ages. As well as the winter sports of skiing and snowboarding, you have paragliding from the mountains, kayaking and rafting in the freshwater rivers, fishing and sailing."
Haute-Provence sits in southeast France near the Italian border and the Côte d'Azur, offering varied landscapes from valleys to mountains. The climate provides four distinct seasons with around 300 days of sunshine annually, warm springs, mellow autumns and generally mild winters; only August is notably hot. The region supports hiking, climbing, cycling, skiing, snowboarding, paragliding, kayaking, rafting, fishing and sailing. The Valley de l'Asse features lavender fields, olive trees, wild thyme and picturesque villages such as Bras d'Asse, Estoublon, Mézel and Châteuredon. A geopark with rare geology adds further natural interest and scenic views.
