Nous vous proposons une jolie balade avec des vues panoramiques de la région de Forcalquier au départ de la Chapelle Saint-Marc. Nous longerons un ravin et le lit d’une rivière que nous suivrons, puis nous monterons à travers bois, nous ne manquerons pas le ‘cabanon pointu’, jusqu’au plateau et le Clot de Melly. Nous traverserons une forêt de chênes puis nous découvrirons des formations rocheuses insolites (Les Mourres). Compte tenu de la durée de la randonnée nous devrions avoir le temps de visiter la jolie ville et l'église Notre-Dame de Forcalquier.
A pretty walk with panoramic views of the Forcalquier region starting from the Chapelle Saint-Marc. We will follow a ravine and the river bed, before heading up through the woods, not missing the ‘cabanon pointu’, to a plateau and the 'Clot de Melly'. From there, we will walk through oak trees before discovering unusual rock formations (Les Mourres). The length of the walk will allow time to visit the pretty town and church (Eglise Notre Dame) of Forcalquier.
