Valley of the Fairies
October 21, 2006
Just past Rousillon is the Val des Fees - the Valley of the Fairies - which is a stupendous one-of-a-kind place, fascinating for children and adults alike. These exotic colorful rock formations are man-made, resulting from the pigment mines that have been operated here since the French Revolution. Its a mass of blood red and ochre cliffs with great red needles, woodsy pines and mysterious caves. It is also sometimes called the Giants Causeway or Sentier des orchres.
Mozart had a blast running, climbing, drawing in the soft sand and exploring the caves. DaVinci added water to the sand and did a little face painting which Mozart adores, so she became a orange hearted princess. I adore these colors so I just basked in the beauty once I made it down the many steps (without railings) and surmounted my vertigo thanks to DaVinci’s helping hand.

It looks amazingly like Sedona, Arizona. How fascinating.
