The vast bare plateau of Col des Champs (2,045 m), so appropriately named, an ancestral route between Haut Var and Haut Verdon, passes through the favoured grazing grounds of the numerous herds of cattle and sheep that spend the summer season there, from June to October. Riding on horseback through this pastoral scene is a must for lovers of traditional life, who will appreciate the peace and quiet.
