Les Monges, Mountain summit in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France.
Les Monges reaches 2115 meters in elevation and features circular formations with alpine meadows, ridges, and untouched natural landscapes across the massif.
The collection of lavender near Les Monges became an economic activity in the late 19th century, supplying raw materials to perfume manufacturers in Grasse.
Traditional summer shepherding continues around Les Monges, with herds of 1500 to 2000 sheep migrating annually to graze in the mountain pastures.
The mountain offers multiple marked trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, connecting various communes including Authon, Auzet, and Bayons.
From the 2017 orientation table at Coste Belle, visitors can identify distant peaks from eight different mountain ranges including Vercors, Dévoluy, and Mercantour.
