Le Christ is an exceptional bronze age petroglyph in the Vallée des Merveilles, also known in Italian as the Valle delle Meraviglie (English: Valley of Marvels), a part of the Mercantour National Park in southern France. It holds the largest quantity of open-air Bronze Age petroglyphs in Europe, after Val Camonica in Italy, and is given special note for the area's inclusion for the European Diploma of Protected Areas.

Located west of Mont Bego and at more than 2,000 m above sea level, the Vallée des Merveilles offers the austere beauty of a mineral and chaotic landscape, at the foot of imposing peaks reflected in multiple lakes with evocative names. There are particularly emblematic engravings, depicting themes that combine everyday life and beliefs.

On the eastern slope of Mount Bego, the Fontanalba valley shows its engraved rocks in an open and welcoming place where the flora reveals all its richness. The engravings illustrate the pastoral life of the first shepherds of the Neolithic and Bronze Age, as demonstrated by the famous “sacred path”.

Classified as a Historical Monument since 1989, the archaeological area of the Mont Bego rock engravings, straddling the two valleys, offers numerous discoveries, both historical and landscape, natural and cultural: welcome to one of the largest rock engraving sites in Europe . !
