Magnificent worthy of a western setting but on a busy road.

Seen far away from the road, the Pénitents des Mées are a strange formation of rocks. The rocks are about 100 meters high each and extend 2 kilometers. According to the legend, Saint Donat transformed some monks into rocks since they had fallen in love with some captured Moorish girls. A visit to the village at the end of the rocks is recommended for those who want to take a closer look.
