In a privileged environment where lush vegetation meets calm and traditional art of living, Saint-Étienne les Orgues has prospered for many years. Nestled at the foot of the Lure mountain on the Lavender Route, the commune is the ideal place to settle down for a sunny country stay, in the heart of the scrubland.
45 kilometres from Digne-les-Bains and 90 kilometres from Carpentras, Saint-Étienne les Orgues is located in the Alpes de Hautes-Provence department. At the foot of the Lure mountains, this village surrounded by forests, fields of fragrant aromatic plants and scrubland is imbued with a gentle atmosphere that is difficult to get rid of. Characterized by a vibrant light all year round, this typical village of the region offers its visitors many panoramas to contemplate. The village itself, first of all, is a place where it is pleasant to stroll along its narrow and tangled streets, articulated around the church, the true heart of the village. You will discover its houses glued together, which once served as ramparts to protect the city, where weavers, drug addicts and breeders had once settled. The magnificent decorated doors of the rue des Apothicaires, the rue Saint Clair and the rue du "Mei de Ville" in particular, testify to the development of the commune and its development, due to the trade in medicinal and aromatic plants. Many fountains are also found in Saint-Étienne les Orgues, most of them decorated with low coping stones, which were once used to water sheep during the transit of herds during the year.
For this stay, we advise you to leave your car behind and prefer to take the different hiking and cycling routes that cross the town from one end to the other in order to discover all its secrets. Via a marked and shaded path of more than 10 kilometres, you can reach one of the most famous buildings in the village: the abbey of Lure. Dating from the 12th century, this monument, established in the heart of a park where century-old lime trees and massive beech trees thrive, is a must see. Located in a valley on the southern slope of the Lure mountain, this abbey, built in the 12th century, was one of the most important in the region at that time. If the monument is worth a visit, it is also because of its absolutely bucolic setting, a true haven of peace where you will love walking in the coolness of the cedars. During your country travels, south of the village of Saint-Étienne les Orgues, you can also cross the path of two beautiful castles that are also worth a visit: the 19th century Château Tondu and the Château du Truyas.
Another attraction not to be missed, no matter what time of year you visit Saint-Étienne les Orgues: the Lure mountain. Culminating at an altitude of 1826 metres, in the heart of the Alpes de Haute-Provence, the Lure mountain offers its visitors a particularly relaxing setting for stays with family or friends. Loved by astronomy enthusiasts, it is a perfect place to observe the sky and the stars. On sunny days, this mountain is the perfect place for excursions, trails and Nordic hikes under an azure sky, to discover some of the most beautiful panoramas that the municipality offers on the Provençal hills, the Southern Alps and the peaks of the Parc National des Écrins. You can also opt for cycling or horseback riding excursions, for fun family outings in particular. During the winter, the Lure ski resort offers skiers and snowboarders beautiful slopes with exceptional panoramas, to practice according to your taste skiing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and sledging between 1600 and 1850 metres above sea level. Its play area, its sled area and its beautiful slopes for children and beginners make it an excellent family resort.
