Castellane is a small town in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, at the entrance to the Verdon landscape. The village combines Provençal lanes, old façades and small squares where the market is held. Its position between limestone peaks and the valley makes it a popular stop for travellers wishing to discover mountain villages, go walking or enjoy water-based activities. Place Marcel Sauvaire is in the centre, close to shops and the village streets.

La Maison Nature et Patrimoines presents the local history and natural environments of the area. The Porte de l’Annonciade and the Tour de l’Horloge bear witness to the village’s past, while the Pont du Roc leads towards river and cliff scenery. Le Roc, visible from the village, towers over Castellane and is a striking landmark in the landscape. More broadly, the Verdon Gorge attracts hikers, canoeists and kayakers, and those seeking views of turquoise waters. A car makes it easier to explore scenic roads and villages scattered across the region; Saint-André-les-Alpes station also provides rail access to the area.

In fine weather, you can stroll through the gorge, go canoeing or take a break by the water. In spring and autumn, the trails and mountain roads offer a quieter way to discover the scenery. You could start the day at the market and explore the old centre, then go for a hike or visit the Verdon’s natural sites. In summer, plan activities for early in the day and take a break during the hottest hours.
