Saint-Bonnet en Champsaur: historic capital of the Champsaur Valley is one of the rare medieval villages in the French Alps. Located on the Napoleon road, on the border between the Dauphiné and Provence and adjoining the Ecrins National Park, Saint-Bonnet en Champsaur bears witness to a prestigious past and has fervently preserved its cultural heritage for centuries. Place Grenette, which has retained its medieval character, was formerly reserved for the grain market, hence its name Place Grenette. The Tounes: place of passage obliged in the 15th century to reach the Saint-Jacques gate, this place, with its fountain and its tounes (arcades) has retained a medieval imprint.
To unwind, nothing like local specialties, Champsaur tourtons, donkey ears, ravioli, cold meats and cheeses from our valleys.
Also visit the neighboring valley of Valgaudemar nicknamed the little Himalayas! This narrow high mountain valley is closed to the west by the cirques of Gioberney and Chabournéou. Besides mountaineering, hiking is an ideal key to enter this fortress.
Possibility in summer to visit Dévoluy via the Col du Noyer.
