Cadieres de Brandis, Valley of Fossil Sirens and Robion St Trophine Chapel

The next few days we spend walking some of the footpaths around the area. The first walk takes us up to one of the highest points overlooking the gorge, Cadieres de Brandis.  The top is craggy limestone outcrops and from here you get some glorious views.








The next walk is on the other side of the Cadieres de Brandis walk.  A gentle stroll through the woods brings you to a rounded rock face which is full of fossil Sirens, the ancestor to the manatee.  The fossils are now protected behind perspex.





The third walk is up to a small chapel built into a cliff face. Quite a tough walk up is made worthwhile as the views and the charming little chapel are delightful.
