Discover Forcalquier, a typical Provencal village not to be missed.<\/h2>
\n\t

Near the camping La Rivi\u00e8re<\/a>, Forcalquier is a typical Provencal perched village<\/strong> located about 8 km from the campsite. With a little less than 5000 inhabitants and sixth largest town in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department, the village has the reputation of having the purest sky and air in France, or even in Europe”.<\/p>\n

You will be dazzled by its magnificent panorama<\/strong> from the citadel located at its summit. Built on the site where the ch\u00e2teau des comtes de Forcalquier<\/strong> once stood, you can discover the magnificent little chapel of Notre-Dame de Provence dating from the end of the 19th century, as well as one of the very rare carillons with 18 bells<\/strong> in the open air of Provence. It allows every Sunday and on the occasion of the main celebrations, to let its melody be heard using the traditional punching game.<\/p>\n

You can also visit its cemetery classified among the most beautiful in Europe, its cathedral Notre-Dame du Bourget.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
