On the Route Napoléon, Sisteron stands at the foot of a majestic citadel. This town, nicknamed the Gateway to Provence, is an eternal passageway between the Alps and the Mediterranean. Visiting Sisteron is a must for anyone interested in heritage!

10 a.m.: board the Citadel's little train for a guided tour of the old town to the gates of the Citadel. Over the course of 20 to 25 minutes, you will begin to discover the history of Sisteron and its narrow streets.

10:30 a.m.: accompanied by your guide, you will explore the Citadel, the town's centrepiece, listed as a Historic Monument and twice awarded for its night-time illuminations. Jean Sarrazin, military engineer under Henri IV, and Sébastien Vauban left their mark on it. Although it suffered damage during the bombing of August 1945, it has been patiently restored over the years by the Association Arts Théâtre et Monuments. In summer, it serves as the setting for the Festival des Nuits de la Citadelle, with theatre and dance performances.

12 noon: the little train will be waiting for you at the exit of the Citadel to take you back to the town centre.

12.30 pm: one of the town's restaurants awaits you to introduce you to local produce. The menu will be chosen from a list provided in advance.

2.30 pm: a guided tour of the old town awaits you. This picturesque tour of the town will take you through narrow streets and small squares to discover the built heritage and unravel the secret of the Andrônes. For those who wish, it is also possible to visit the Gallo-Roman museum of Sisteron with its contemporary, evolving and interactive display explaining the funeral rites of the Gallo-Roman era.

4.30pm: Your day in Sisteron is coming to an end, and the Tourist Office invites you to discover some souvenirs and local products to take home with you to prolong the pleasure.
