It is called the "Pearl of Haute
Provence" . Sisteron, this historically important city, once the
site of both misery and glory, is now a leading city in ttae Alpes de
Haute Provence.
The Mediterranean sun shines down on the decor that announces
the proximity of the Alps.
With its exceptional heritage, and
its equally exceptional setting, Sisteron will certainly delight its visitors.
 The fortified
citadel which crowns the city and
overlooks the Durance river is a complex ofdiverse architectural periods including the 12th, 14th,16th,17th, and
19th centuries. Inside the walls
is the Notre Dame du Chateau Chapel and two museums.
 From the terrace of the Citadel
there is an excellent view of the old city down below onto the timeworn
tile roofs of the houses lining the river banks.This
ancient part is quite captivating with its tiny squares planted with trees
and fountains gushing here and there throughout the winding streets.
Along the river banks several beaches have been fitted out to the joy
of big and small during those hot summer days.
