It’s a little piece of the world reached via the D17, which weaves its way between the Asse and Verdon valleys, linking Majastres (4 inhabitants in 2019) to the Asse valley. Once past the Col de la Croix, the hillside road overlooks the deep canyon of the Pas de l’Escale torrent. Downstream, it joins the Estoublaïsse and Trévans gorges. Limestone cliffs, a clue and the crossing of the L’Escale torrent at the Pas (passage) of the same name await us as we continue on our way. Below us, we can see ancient stone paths, some carved into the rock, some of which date back to Roman times, and an ancient stone bridge before reaching Majastres.
