Wildfire-period range closures (June-September) may impose long detours, ordered by prefectoral decrees. In a small town like Digne-les-Bains, driving alternates between town centre, residential zones and access to departmental axes. Entry roundabouts and 30 km/h zones are the main points of attention.

In parallel, the highway code theoretical test (ETG) can be taken with several state-approved operators. La Poste, one of the most widespread, offers an official search tool allowing candidates to book a session close to home.
