Discover Castellane
and its surroundingsAlpine freshness
and Provencal sweetnessWith its crown of mountains, Castellane already has its head in the Alps. Once protected by fourteen towers, it has a rich heritage. Discover the Porte de l’Annonciade, the clock tower and the church of Saint Victor, continue past the church of the Sacré Coeur to the Pont du Roc. Then sit on a terrace, on one of the small squares to enjoy the lively atmosphere of this city of character. You prefer a little peace and quiet? Opt for the pentagonal tower and its terraced gardens.
Beyond the roofs of the village, the panorama opens onto the entrance to the Gorges du Verdon.

Castellane champagne is not produced… in Castellane, we deplore it as much as you do, but we have many other local products!
Le Roc, emblem of Castellane
It’s hard not to be impressed by the Roc, a rocky outcrop which, from the top of its 184 meters, dominates the village.
A small climb of 40 minutes to reach the top and the children can even ring the bell of the chapel (without excess anyway…).
In summer, you will appreciate the freshness of the interior and the water point.
You will see the statue of the virgin, struck down around 1970 and on the side the remains of the city in the middle ages, Petra Castellana.
You will especially enjoy a 360 ° view!
