Fondry des Chiens

The limestone grass around the Roche Trouée and the Fondry des Chiens gives the sites an almost Provençal touch in the spring and summer. Sheep and goats that graze to maintain the lime grass reinforce the Mediterranean impression. With its limestone rocks and its rare heat-loving plants and animals, the region has a special biological and geological importance. From the heights and the western viewpoint you have a beautiful panorama of the surroundings.
