Castellane is a village in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, surrounded by hills and associated with the landscapes of the Verdon. You can explore its Provençal centre on foot, among narrow streets, historic buildings and small squares. The region attracts outdoor enthusiasts: hiking, canoeing and water activities are popular in the warmer months, while the mountains also offer skiing in season. The setting suits travellers who want to alternate visits to villages with days outdoors.

Pont du Roc is one of the notable local sights, alongside the Verdon and its gorge scenery. In Castellane, Maison Nature et Patrimoines presents the area’s natural and cultural heritage. Porte de l'Annonciade and Tour de l'Horloge reflect the history of the village, while the market offers a chance to discover local produce and village life. Chapelle Saint-Joseph des Augustins is also accessible from the centre. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is 57 km away according to the proximity information; a car is useful for exploring the sights scattered around Castellane.

For a day out, you can spend the morning exploring the village’s narrow streets and heritage, then go for a walk or head to the banks of the Verdon. The warmer months are well suited to water activities and long hikes, but summer is also the busiest season. Spring and early autumn often offer pleasant conditions for walking the trails and visiting nearby villages. In winter, activities depend on snow cover and mountain conditions; bring clothing suited to changing weather.
