Situation

It is also surrounded by Castle-City-Old woman, Guillestre and Briançon.

Its southernmost limit is rather vague, but can be fixed at the collar Saint-Véran, immediately at the south of the Col Agnel.

Consequently, it is surrounded of the Massif of Ubaye in the south, of the Massif of the Jewel cases in the west, of the Massif of the Rings in north and the the Alps cottiennes in the east.
