This very busy marble quarry (place for picnics, caving training, diving) includes a large embankment criss-crossed with paths passing between large limestone blocks, an underwater excavation dug mainly on the hillside whose pinkish-colored walls to grey-pink present an undeniable aesthetic interest, and several scree in general raised. In this site classified since 1992 remains an old farm building with its chimney. On the busy median, the vegetation is mainly confined around the blocks, between the paths and on the edges; The poaceae Catapodium rigidum and Aira praecox grow there in particular, accompanied by various dry lawn plants.
