Perched more than 1,200m above sea level, overlooking the
village of Rougon, this is a unique area with a view over the
entrance to the Grand Canyon. This vast wild plateau is
distinguished by pastoralism (low walls and dry stone
sheepfolds).
As a summer pasture site, it is advisable to stay away from the
flocks supervised by protection dogs (patous). This hike is better
mid-season because of the south-facing sun exposure.
Alternate option: If you turn right a bit before the plateau you will
reach the Barre des Catalans for breathtaking views over Rougon
with a panoramic viewpoint.
If you are lucky you could see vultures flying
