Orgues offers a view of these astonishing natural structures known as "fairy chimneys." It's a unique landscape with colorful reliefs that water has sculpted in clay and sand, torn from the Pyrenees and deposited in the Tet Valley over the course of 5 million years.

A unique place in France, a landscape of fairy chimneys with a fragile, ephemeral beauty. It shows the cliffs of sand and clay, patiently chiseled by the rain. Erosion has worked like an artist

There is much to read about this landscape, formed by erosion over 50 million years, but you simply have to see it for yourself, it is so beautiful and unique.
