The Nethen sand quarry La Sablière offers a beautiful panorama of Nethen and the valley. The former quarry was constructed with information boards and viewpoints in February 2022 after ecological restoration work. The nature reserve is managed by Natagora. You will find the sand blue, a plant that thrives in dry, lime-poor sandy soil.
