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 dropsy, 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 have been gathered. 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 Musée-promenade and its rich artistic collection, in Digne-les-Bains
