Rank : 8.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 44.348738641963976, 5.465757337679642 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Many species of birds (including Hoopoe, Black and Red Kite, Short-toed Eagle, Sterpazzolina, Little Tern) but in particular the Vultures (griffon vulture, monk, Egyptian vulture and with much luck the bearded vulture) that nest almost everywhere but in particular on the high cliff that descends sheer to the village of Remuzat.Su Eygues river the presence of the Beaver is reported. lavender fields and wide landscapes.

Recommended equipment : For passerines, the usual long telephoto lenses from 400 to 600mm and above. For vultures, a medium telephoto or a 70-300 zoom is often sufficient because lurking on the edge of the cliff the passages are frequent and very close.

Best months : Mainly in spring but also in summer (heat permitting...) you can make interesting sightings.

How to get there : From Italy, reach Gap and then continue towards Nyons on the D94. Shortly after Remuzat, in Saint-May, take a narrow carriage road on the right (initially paved then unpaved) that touches the ruins of an ancient abbey and after 4 kilometers ends in a free parking lot, with toilets. Leave the car and continue on foot for about 15 minutes on a wide cart track that ends near a cross (Rocher du Caire): from here a narrow path allows you to walk along the crest of the cliff in both directions. Alternatively, you can start from Remuzat (altitude 447m) and reach the top (1029m) along two paths (which can be connected to a ring) which, however, have some challenging passages.

Visits : Free admission. The road to the crag is passable with any type of car.

Notes : The area is still quite wild, with plateaus planted with lavender or used for pasture, dotted with a myriad of small villages. Hotel accommodations are therefore not very frequent, as are restaurants. In Rosans (about 20 minutes by car from Remuzat) you can stay in an ancient castle run by a nice and enterprising couple (Giovanni and Emmanuelle) who are laboriously renovating it...
