Photography Tips
The road is really narrow, is difficult to find an available spot to park the car. Due to the tight place be careful when you walk along it and same when you take the photos. A tripod is always useful, but here I suggest to do fast.
Travel Information
It is easily accessible on its right bank from the north (via route D952 from Castellane to Moustiers-Sainte-Marie), and on its left bank from the south (via routes D71, D90 and D955 from Aiguines to Castellane).
