The
village of La Javie is located on the side of a beautiful road that runs
through the wide Bléone valley, on a peaceful site at the confluence
of the Arigeol and Bléone rivers.
It is surrounded by beautiful green meadows filled with apple trees, and
overlooked by a modest chapel with a Romanesque appearance perched on a
rock. La Javie has a few old, picturesque, stairway-like streets, and a
few beautiful grey stone houses.
The
village is situated on the Haute Provence geological reserve, an open-air
museum covering 14,500 square kilometres, where rocks and fossils unfold
300 million years of history for us. Lovers of (very !) old stones will
be in seventh heaven!
The most curious will set off on the trail of the powerful Saint-Victor
abbey in the neighbouring hamlets of Chandol and Cluchier. |
