A remarkable stony chaos offering a very beautiful view. You can walk there or bask on the stones heated by the sun.

Friendly family walk on sandy ground strewn with stones with strange shapes. Nice view at the top on a clear day. Birthplace of Paul and Camille Claudel who inspired them for their works. Take the walk before visiting their house-museum which is worth the detour.

A cultural visit at the turn of a hike. Immerse yourself in the world of 2 big names. The hike is dotted with a description of the landscape by Paul Claudel.
