ラマグドレーヌの天然記念物・トップ6

In addition to everything that's been said, the road runs alongside magnificent cliffs, and you even pass under the rock several times – it's amazing!!

A lovely place full of history! We walked along a white path and observed these buildings in a beautiful landscape!

The path under the cliff is perhaps 500 meters long, and the surface isn't particularly bike-friendly. You also have to share the path with hikers. It's still a really beautiful path, though; the official bike path goes over the cliff, so you can save yourself some elevation gain.

These wells are aligned on a geological fold characterized by a layer of impermeable clay located under the outcropping limestone. Each well is built above a "cistern" dug into the rock. The wells are therefore independent of each other. The "cisterns" are filled in two ways: by vertical infiltration of rainwater and by lateral flow of water. Here we can see the determination and ingenuity of the Caussenards to capture water that is particularly rare in the region.

One of the most popular photo motifs in the Lot Valley. It's incredible how this structure was built into the rock and is accessible!

From the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD, the Fontaine des Chartreux was a center of worship of Divona, goddess of the waters in the Celtic tradition, as evidenced by the Roman coins found during archaeological explorations in 1989. In the Middle Ages, a mill used the waters of the spring: the spring was ceded to the Charterhouse of Cahors and was known thereafter by the name of this religious order. In the 19th century, some of the stones lining the pool were replaced by tombstones from the church of Notre Dame de la Daurade, destroyed in 1808. Since 1853, when the Cabazat pumping station (now Maison de l'Eau) was put into operation, this Vauclusian spring, whose depth of 137 meters acts as a real filtering system, supplies the town with drinking water. From 1926, electric pumps were installed in this building, right next to the Fontaine des Chartreux, and this is still the pumping station today. The water is pumped into reservoirs hollowed out of the cliffs and then through pipes laid under the

The Lot is a French river that rises in the Massif Central. The source of the river is in the area of Mont Lozère. The Lot runs from Mont Lozère to Aiguillon, where the river flows into the Garonne. The Lot has a length of 481 km, of which only 200 km as the crow flies.
