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.
Farther afield, and perhaps only reachable by car, there are several wonderful sightseeing spots to consider. Make plans for a day trip to see the Luberon Hills, the Verdon Gorges, the lake of Saint Croix and many more stunning natural wonders of Provence.
