A remarkable rural heritage

The village of Niozelles is situated in the Durance Valley, between the towns of Manosque and Sisteron.

The Notre-Dame de Ganagobie Abbey presents a magnificent example of Romanesque architecture in Provence. The church of this Benedictine monastery can be visited outside of religious service hours. Taking a walk on the Ganagobie plateau allows you to explore the ruins of the medieval village of Villevieille.

Sisteron was built around a rocky promontory that guards access to the Durance Valley. A powerful citadel was constructed in this location and continues to awe visitors who enter its gates.

You can also visit Manosque, located to the south of Niozelles. We recommend strolling through the streets of the historic center and paying a visit to the Jean Giono Center, dedicated to the famous regionalist writer.
