Vase de Sèvres, Rock formation in Saint-Pierre-des-Tripiers, France
The Vase de Sèvres presents itself as a tall limestone pillar rising from the cliffs of Gorges de la Jonte in the Causse Méjean region.
The geological formation emerged through millions of years of erosion, shaping the limestone landscape of the Causses and Cévennes during the Jurassic period.
Local inhabitants named this formation after its resemblance to a porcelain vase, alongside its neighboring rock formation called the Vase de Chine.
Visitors can access the formation through marked hiking trails starting from Saint-Pierre-des-Tripiers, with safety barriers installed at strategic viewpoints.
The natural limestone pillar stands as a geological marker within the protected area, where numerous vultures nest in the surrounding cliffs.
