The Nartuby River and its surroundings have long shaped the village of Trans-en-Provence. However, the gorges were neither accessible nor developed. They could only be viewed from the Pont Vieux, located in the center of the town. The new attraction has therefore made it possible to create a public trail along the river.
In fact, there are many activities on offer to suit all tastes and ages. Visitors are sure to fall in love with the village’s breathtaking natural landscapes and historic landmarks. This monumental structure has already piqued the curiosity of many local residents.
From the historic sites of Saint Roch—including old oil mills, silk factories, and a hydroelectric power plant —to churches and chapels, visitors will have the opportunity to discover its exceptional heritage. Sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike can enjoy a fun 1.5-kilometer walk with family or friends.
