The diversity of its rocks testifies to the wide variety of landscapes that have succeeded one another, from the from the sea to the mountain range. It also bears witness to a rich glacial past that has shaped its forms, organised the circulation of its underground water and shaped agricultural practices. This geological geological heritage has long shaped the history of human occupation. While the age of easy resources has made us forget this connection forgotten, this link to the earth remains an inescapable and a value for the future! The Geopark invites you to to discover these links using all the means available: playful or gourmet discovery, educational escapades, walks or sporting exploration of the massif.
