The art route in the Bès valley

What to expect

The Bès Valley, with its exceptional geological heritage, is the epicentre of the Gassendi Museum's mountain art collection, where each of the works is a unique look at the living canvas of the landscape. It is here that Joan Fontcuberta's Hydropithèque , Paul-Armand Gette's Om , several traces of Herman de Vries, Andy Goldsworthy's A Sentinel , Trevor Gould's Hannibal's Pavilion and Stéphane Bérard's humorous Mille plateaux-repas were on display.

This outing is done by car with multiple artistic and geological stops along the valley. It can, on request, be completed by a visit to the promenade museum and its rich artistic collection, in Digne-les-Bains

Level: 1/5, less than 2 km of cumulative walks over the day; 65 km by car (out of respect for the environment, we will carpool) 100 m of elevation gain accumulated over the day

Price: €250/day for a group of up to 15 people (any tickets to the Promenade Museum or the Gassendi Museum are not included)
