Manosque is a Provençal town in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, between the Durance Valley and the landscapes of the Luberon. Explore its old town on foot, passing historic gates, shopping streets and churches. The town suits travellers looking to combine local heritage, urban walks and excursions into the Provençal hinterland. Jean Giono is closely associated with Manosque, where his house and other places of remembrance offer a chance to learn more about the writer.

Porte de la Saunerie and Porte du Soubeyran mark the historic entrances to the centre. Notre-Dame-de-Romigier Church and Fondation Carzou offer two cultural stops, while Centre Jean Giono sheds light on the author’s life and work. Parc de Drouille and the gardens in the centre provide places to stroll. Manosque-Gréoux railway station is 1.6 km away; Marseille Provence Airport is 61 km away. A car makes it easier to get to the surrounding villages and natural landscapes.

For a day in town, you can wander the old streets, visit places associated with Giono and then take a break in a garden. The milder spring and autumn seasons are well suited to walks and outings into the hinterland; during the hotter Provençal summer, plan outdoor visits for early or late in the day. The surrounding area also makes it possible to plan an excursion to the Verdon Regional Natural Park, allowing for the distances and driving time.
