On a day when the weather didn't look too promising in Puivert, we decided to drive towards the Mediterranean, where hopefully the sun would be shining. There is an attraction near the town of Ille Sur Tet that had caught our interest. It is an area of strangely shaped rock formations, made out of white sandstone and eroded by the weather.
There is a ten minute walk from the car park up to Les Orgues and along the way there are some sculptures made from various metals. This is one of them, the birds. There was also a dinosaur amongst the bushes.
It's quite an extraordinary sight. This part of the 'park' is known as The Labrynth'.
Looking out from The Labrynth.
And yes, the sun was shining over in this very Mediteranean part of The Languedoc.
As seen from a distance. As the road climbs away from Les Orgues, there is a lay-by with an orientation table and a good view of the strangely shaped rocks. From here it is easy to see where the name came from, as the rocky shapes look like organ pipes.
