Prefecture of the Alpes de Haute-Provence and classified tourist resort, Digne-les-Bains is a historic capital of fine lavender. It is located 600 m above sea level, in the heart of the UNESCO Geopark of Haute-Provence and has approximately 16 inhabitants.
Surrounded by mountains, Digne-les-Bains is at the confluence of three valleys: that of the Bléone, the Mardaric and the Torrent des Eaux Chaudes.
Thermes Digne-les-Bains
From the first century BC, the Romans installed thermal baths in the valley of hot waters. The waters, which spring naturally at the foot of the cliff, have a temperature of between 22 and 42° C.
Also frequented in the Middle Ages, the sources were very appreciated in the 17th century. Even today, many pathologies are treated at the Thermes de Digne-les-Bains: osteoarthritis and rheumatism, chronic rhinitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, ear infections, etc.
Pierre Gassendi
Digne-les-Bains has a rich cultural heritage and a history marked by great minds like Pierre Gassendi. In Digne, many monuments bear the name of this great XNUMXth century philosopher from Champtercier and his statue is proudly erected on the Place du General de Gaulle.
The Napoleon Route
On March 4, 1815, in broad market day, Napoleon entered Digne-les-Bains via Rue Mère de Dieu. He lunched at the former Hôtel du Petit Paris run by Louis Bausset (commemorative plaque on the facade). The troops stop at Pré-de-Foire and during Arès. The Emperor leaves Digne around 15 p.m. via Boulevard Gassendi (formerly “Chemin Neuf”) and the Grand Pont. The Napoleon Route crosses protected and preserved areas such as the Haute-Provence Geological Nature Reserve (the largest in Europe), as well as the first Geopark in the world recognized by UNESCO.
Two cathedrals
Because of its turbulent history, Digne-les-Bains has the distinction of having two cathedrals: Saint-Jérôme and Notre Dame du Bourg.
outdoor sports
Starting point for many hiking and mountain biking, Digne-les-Bains is also a paradise for lovers of outdoor activities and thrills (parachute, climbing, canyoning, Via Ferrata, etc.).
Commercial areas
The shops of Digne-les-Bains are organized in two zones: in the city center, around Boulebard Gassendi, and at the entrance to the city coming from Marseille, in the Saint-Christophe district.
