La Mer des Rochers, Natural limestone formation in Sauve, France
The geological site spans across the Coutach plateau, featuring a complex network of limestone rocks emerging from dense Mediterranean vegetation.
In 1776, naturalist writer Gesanne documented this seemingly inhospitable area that produced high-quality fruits between the limestone formations.
The site retains remnants of ancient agricultural practices through dry stone walls, mule paths, and water collection systems from past generations.
The 5.5-kilometer marked trail guides visitors through the rock formations, starting from the upper section of Sauve medieval village.
The rock formations resulted from natural decalcification processes, where carbonic acid gradually transformed calcium and magnesium carbonate rocks.
