Sheltered by the imposing wall of the perched syncline of Saoû, you'll pass by the ruins of Pradas and enjoy unobstructed views over the Roubion valley.
Mornans borders on Saoû, Bezaudun and Bourdeaux. Mornans means "stone" or "mound" in Ligurian.
The "Muret d'Art" path is part of the "Serre Antoine" hiking trail. Muret d'Art is an artistic, environmental and international trail.
Itinerary description: In Mornans: parking lot at the bottom of the village, follow the Serre Antoine itinerary, passing through the houses : la Cure, Tavau, the path continues below the house "le cagnard", continues to the pine wood where the low wall bearing the artists' works begins, and ends at the Bompard ruin, where it becomes a path leading down to the Eyzarette stream (ford) and up the hillside towards Fonderesse, the Saoû forest via the Porte de Barry and the 3 Becs, Bourdeaux via the Rastel, the GR9 and the Chemin des Huguenots. From the Cure to Fonderesse, on either side of the combe, the remains of dwellings bear witness to the vitality of the countryside in days gone by. The villages of Saoû, Soyans, Mornans, Poët-Célard, Bourdeaux and Bezaudun all share the common feature of fortified heights: castles, keeps or watchtowers, all within sight of each other, as were the scattered farms of the Combe where the wall is located.
