Les Pierres Blanches, Public park in Sète, France
Les Pierres Blanches is a forest park in Sète's Mont Saint-Clair neighborhood with Mediterranean Sea views, containing extensive pine woodlands. Walking paths of varying lengths connect different sections, with designated spots throughout for picnics and recreation.
The white stone structures developed over millions of years through geological processes, which is how the park received its name. This natural formation shaped the distinctive character of the Mont Saint-Clair area over deep time.
A mobile application guides visitors through the park with two virtual characters: Martin shares local history while Aurelie provides botanical information about the plants. This combination lets people learn about the area's story and nature at their own pace.
The walking paths are relatively easy to navigate and accommodate different fitness levels, allowing visitors to move at their own pace. Clear weather offers the best experience, as views extend significantly from the elevated terrain on good days.
The park is home to roughly 700 plant species, making it a place of significant botanical diversity. From the higher elevations, clear weather reveals distant views toward the Pyrenees and Mont Canigou, adding depth to the panorama.
