2 days on horseback, for owner-riders, on the Grand Equestrian Route of the Napoleonic Route (GR406) between Digne-les-Bains and Volonne. An easy ride in the footsteps of the Emperor who traveled this route in 1815. Valid all year round!

The Great Equestrian Route of the Route Napoléon (GR406) is 350km of marked paths between Grasse and Vizille, Napoleon covered it with his troops in 8 days in 1815.

Day 1: Digne-les-Bains – Mirabeau
Distance: 14 km – Elevation gain: 230 m // Elevation loss: 150 m
Starting from Digne, at the exit of the town at the Rugby stadium, you will wind through the Bléone valley on the Route Napoléon. The route, labeled Grand Itinéraire Équestre (Grand Equestrian Route), offers several climbs and descents, including the one leading you to the superb Gaubert viewpoint, which then descends to the other side where you will cross a footbridge at the foot of the hill. Another climb at the village of Mallemoisson, then descent into the plain where you will cross the Duyes river. You will then cross the hamlet of Lutins to arrive at the Château de Fontenelle and the village of Mirabeau where the cottage and paddock for the horses are located (100m away).

Day 2: Mirabeau – Volonne
Distance: 19 km – Elevation gain: 260 m // Elevation loss: 430 m
This stage offers you very varied landscapes, starting with a long track rising to a superb point of view of the penitents.
