Duration: 1½ to 2 hours.
Literary walk to Paul Arène's cabin:
Better than anyone else, the writer and storyteller Paul Arène, a close friend of F. Mistral and A. Daudet, was able to evoke Sisteron, where he was born and raised, and which never ceased to inspire him and dwell in his heart.
Flora will take you to the ‘cabanon’ where he wrote his most beautiful pages under the olive trees, tell you about his life and read you some of his favourite passages.
Duration: 3 hours minimum (small groups only, able to walk on trails).
‘Sisteron Autrement’ (Sisteron with a difference):
For even more fun and shared knowledge, take a tour of the old town featuring short performances (singing, music, storytelling), a quiz and little surprises to create a friendly atmosphere.
