The Sea of Rocks



La Mer de Rochers

Outside of the territory of the town of Sauve is the Sea of Rocks,la Mer de Rochers. It's a chaotic tangle of limestone rocks above the town. A small walking track of about 4 km leads through it. This is a typical karst area.


The original inhabitants of Sauve had lived there - protected and hidden from enemies - between the bizarre rock formations.

You will also find remains of an old castle, the Chateau de Roquevaire.
Many legends and stories are told about the rock chaos. On tablets (also in German) we could read about something.Even artists have left their marks here.

It was a pleasant walk. It is to recommend solid shoes. Here are some photos:
