Le Collet de Brun

Le Collet de Brun is a 1233-meter mountain summit in southeastern France with gentle slopes and grasslands throughout. The terrain offers open views across rolling hills with sparse vegetation typical of this Mediterranean alpine transition zone.

This summit has served for centuries as a geographic reference point for local communities in the region. Its position made it a natural landmark for navigation and territorial awareness.

Shepherds have long brought their flocks to graze on these slopes during summer, a practice that continues to shape the landscape you see today. The terraced fields and worn paths reflect generations of this pastoral routine.

The best time to visit is during warmer months when trails are dry and easy to walk on. Bring solid hiking boots and water since the summit is quite exposed to sun and wind.

On clear days, you can see both the Mediterranean landscape spreading to the south and the Alpine terrain rising to the north from this spot. This dual view captures the summit's position between two very different geographic worlds.
