The Jean de Marre mill was strategically located near a waterfall, where there is a tufa formation, a natural curiosity. The tufa, composed of dissolved and redeposited limestone, traps plant and animal debris, forming a soft and crumbly rock. When the watercourse is not dry, this environment is home to lush vegetation of mosses and ferns, which thrive in the saturated humidity of the site. This habitat is rare and localized in Provence.

The ruins themselves aren't much to look at anymore, but the path through the gorge is very pretty in this section too - and a relaxing walk.
