About

Covering 30 hectares, the coastline is of great botanical, scenic and cultural value. The department of the Conseil Général (local authorities) responsible for natural sites has introduced Camargue horses to the heath to limit the spread of the vegetation. Walking by the sea, you may see traces of holes made in the face rock of the foreshore. These were left by the "chante-perce", a manual drilling tool used to split the rocks, bearing testament to the granite extraction work carried out by the quarrymen.
