Around Hippocampe Campsite

There is much to experience at and around Hippocampe, so much so that you will definitely want to return. For example, follow a part of the Route de Napoleon to the south and keep your camera ready. Or release the artist in you and follow a painting workshop. Beautiful places in the area are: Sisteron with the citadel, Manosque with cosy terraces on charming squares and Digne Les Bains, known since the Romans for its hot springs.
