A pre-Alpine massif located in the north of the Alpes de Haute-Provence between Digne-les-Bains and Lac de Serre-Ponçon, the Massif des Monges (so named because the Monges – meaning “monks” – of the Saint-Victor abbey owned much of the surrounding land) is an area of contrasting relief that impresses with its ambient calm.
The geological diversity of its soils, pastoral activity and dual climatic influence make the Monges a haven for flora and fauna.

This massif impresses with its landscapes, alternating mountain pastures, narrow valleys and forgotten villages. It’s the perfect place to get away from it all, and satisfy your thirst for freedom and wide-open spaces.
