La Motte du Caire

Highlight • Other

The Intercommunal Tourist Office of the Hautes Terres de Provence of La Motte-du-Caire is at the initiative of a process of knowledge of the very original territory.

Talking rocks are scattered along the paths of the territory. Just stop near the stones and press a button for a voice to come out of the stone and begin to tell. These rocks tell both local and international stories in English and French.

March 21, 2023,Route : direction Le Caire…

Ride with pace, again, and Garmin rewards me by counting the ride as "Tempo"! A first for an outing of this length, and in addition I found it not unpleasant at all 🤘
Not too many photos because no "light" and since everything is in dark grays it only gives a mush of pixels. But it was a nice loop!
