From the citadel that dominates the town, you can see the maze of stairs and vaulted streets of the town. The historic heart of the medieval village can be discovered by chance during a walk. You can admire the old houses, vaulted passages, stairs, fountains, restaurants, art galleries and stores.
Sisteron conceals many tourist sites such as the clock tower with its wrought-iron bell tower, the Romanesque Church of Notre-Dame-des Pommiers, the Musée Terre et Temps museum and more, the Written Stone of Dardanus, which evokes Theopolis.
Your stay in Sisteron will be an opportunity to discover the surrounding area by striding along the various hiking trails that crisscross the territory. You will also be able to visit the towns and villages of the region such as Forcalquier and Gap.
But first, immerse yourself in the local customs and culture and meet the locals, during the festivals and events organized in the town such as La Fête de l’agneau (lamb festival), Rues en fêtes (festival in the streets), Le Passage du Fort, the medieval festival, and La Fête du vent (festival of winds).
