The rocky landscape is incredibly beautiful. But the climb is rather difficult to classify. However, the view is well worth it.

If you are on holiday in this region, it is somehow a must to visit the Cirque de Mourèze.
More than 150,000 visitors come here every year to walk the circular path and watch the stone spectacle. We join in. But it is worth it!
