- Tip: include the village of Barcelonnette in your itinerary. In this picturesque village, at an altitude of 1,135 metres, you will come across – strangely enough – many Mexican and other Latin-American influences.
- The lamb from Sisteron is famous throughout the world, and the designation of ‘Sisteron lamb’ must meet stringent criteria. The lambs must have been suckled by their mothers for two whole months in the area around Sisteron.
- Until 1970, the official name of this region was ‘Basses-Alpes’. In that year, the name was changed to Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.
