We must be wary of this stretch between Forcalquier and Saint-Michel L'Observatoire which, without particular difficulty, still offers a roller coaster profile!

The route alternates paths and some technical descents on sometimes brittle trails, before joining the characteristic cupolas of the astronomical observatory of Haute-Provence.
