Grès d'Annot, Sandstone formations in Annot, France.

The Grès d'Annot presents a collection of natural sandstone blocks spread across the landscape, creating multiple levels of geological formations and paths.

The sandstone deposits of Grès d'Annot formed during the Eocene period, approximately 40 million years ago, through sedimentary accumulation in ancient marine environments.

Local inhabitants have integrated these rock formations into regional folklore, naming specific areas such as the Jardins du Roi and Chambre du Roi.

The site features a 5.5-kilometer marked trail with elevation changes of 350 meters, requiring approximately three hours to complete the full circuit.

The location contains numerous rock shelters and natural arches, including the Portettes arch and the Roubine shelter, formed through centuries of erosion.
