A walk in Manosque

Manosque is a city located in Provence in the Luberon.

Manosque is the most populated city of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, it must be said right away that it is not a very touristy city, the old center is certainly pretty but few people spend their vacations in Manosque. Manosque is interesting as a stopover town for a visit to the Luberon or the magnificent Verdon gorges which are located at one hour drive.
