Tourisme

Digne-les-Bains (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France)

Digne-les-Bains is a spa town nestled in the Bléone valley, the gateway to the landscapes of Haute-Provence. A spa resort since the 19th century, it combines historical heritage and preserved nature. The surrounding relief offers typical panoramas: lavender plateaus, limestone hills and gorges. The town also serves as a starting point for exploring the Haute-Provence Geological Reserve and the inner Provence.

Heritage and history

The old town preserves narrow streets and the Cathédrale Notre‑Dame‑du‑Bourg, a remarkable building on its spur. The best-known museum is the Musée Gassendi, which displays collections of art and archaeology related to local history. One can also find traces of medieval occupation and 19th-century urban developments linked to the thermal boom.
