Castellane

Castellane occupies a narrow stretch of the Verdon valley in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. The Roc, a limestone outcrop above the town, is crowned by the chapel of Notre-Dame du Roc and remains Castellane’s defining landmark. The Verdon runs through the centre before entering the Gorges du Verdon downstream, while the Route Napoléon passes through town on the itinerary associated with Napoleon’s 1815 return from Elba. Its central squares and old lanes make a useful base for discovering this mountainous corner of Provence.
