Access

Access
  • On foot from the upper town, by the path from the Asfeld bridge, 45 minutes uphill.

    By car: from the Rue Centrale, in the heart of the lower town, head towards the Col d'Izoard, through the hamlet of Fontchristiane. A few hundred metres further on, take the road on the left, in the bend, just before the waste disposal centre. Continue on the road that climbs through the fortifications. Reach the shooting range n°1 on a platform used as a car park where there is a large concrete and wood barrack.
