Access

Simiane owes its fame to the Rotonde, whose conical silhouette crowns the hill where stone houses have anchored their foundations into the rock. Located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, at the junction of the regions of Sault, Forcalquier, and Apt, Simiane is not at the end of the world but only an hour and a half from Digne, Aix-en-Provence, and Avignon, and two hours from Marseille.

Simiane la Rotonde benefits from the coolness of an average altitude (650m), Mediterranean sunshine, and a sky swept by the Mistral, said to be the purest in Europe, hence the presence of the Haute-Provence Observatory just 18 km away.
