    Hiking

    La demoiselle Coiffée is a fairy chimney geological formation located north of the hamlet of Roubion. Slender like a large natural column made of friable rocks, it is protected and capped by a rock of a different nature, much more resistant to the work of erosion. Its particular shape has often fueled beliefs and legends.
