 At
the confluence of the Durance and Ubaye valleys, the perched village of Sauze is famous for its viewing point
offering a breathtaking panorama of Serre-Ponçon lake.
But Sauze has also remained a delicious country village, with its ancestral
stable odours, between bales of hay, tractors and old rusted farming tools
(enough to open a museum!!). When you stroll in the narrow streets of
Sauze, between the sometimes dilapidated, lopsided farmer's houses, with
their wooden balconies, time seems to have stopped, you are almost surprised
to see a car here!
 You
will come across at least one dog, a few hens and pheasants in the fields,
and no doubt one or two old, ruddy complexioned, country people !
Sauze is surrounded by vast green meadows and it has a more recently built
neighbourhood, at the entrance to the village, with an amazing view of
the lake. Don't forget to try the "Bar du belvédère",
the best place to enjoy the evening sun setting over the lake, while literally
drinking in the incomparably pure air.
