The absolute highlights today were the Baume-les-Messieurs monastery, the tuff cascades, and the enormous valley head made of rock! Very impressive!

The second of today's three short hikes was the most impressive.

The village itself, picturesquely nestled between rock faces and wooded ridges, is definitely worth a visit. The picturesque houses and the former Benedictine monastery, which looks back on over 1,000 years of history, are definitely worth a visit.
