Tips

Let Édouard-Alfred Martel benefit from the description of the chaos of Nîmes-le-Vieux: "It is a front of cliffs, a projection from the surface of the Causse Méjean, which presents a great length of half-cirques, all bristling hundreds of dolomitic rocks, perforated, cut, sculpted...".

Indeed, the path that winds through chaos reveals an archaic marvel lost in the heart of the Causse Méjean. None of the rocks that emerge from the ground are alike. This ruiniform site ultimately resembles a limestone forest, unfathomable and punctuated with curiosities.
