For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.

In the Alps

by Kettleman - last update: May 4, 2007

Jausiers is right on the main road between Barcelonette and Briancon to the north and easily situated for a base for anyone that enjoys a ride (or cycle or walk!) in the high Alps.

In winter it is probably bustling with ski-ing types but in high summer it is packed with walkers and cyclists, plus a large number of motorcyclists.
There is one campsite, a water park that replaces any thoughts of a beach plus a few restaurants and bars, not actually a place for the "yoof" of today that are intent on hedonism!

Ideal for me though!
On the western outskirts of town towards Barcelonette (past the Gendarmerie and Rescue HQ) is a local produce place, it's a little touristy and a bit pricy, but you can buy plenty of locally produced goods from clothes to food.

Pros:"excellent base for exploring"
Cons:"not much night life for the hedonistic"
In A Nutshell:"quiet family holidays"
