Tips
The rock formation covers approximately 120 hectares. It was formed by corrosion of the dolomite rock of the Causse Noir. It was originally assumed that the rocks were a ruined city, and it was not until 1870 that a trench was cut through the rocks. The speleologist Edouard-Alfred Martel was the first to map the rocks in 1883-1884.
