Particularly Special Place
Description
A unique nature wonder made by an ancient sea, 100 millions years ago. Part of the Unesco World Heritage.
Right at the border between France and Spain, there is a 600m/2000ft+ height difference between the cirque bottom and its peaks. The Cirque is also host of the tallest waterfall in France (400m/1300ft+ high).
Sought after by hikers, it is also a challenging place for the best climbers in the world, trying their luck on its several cliffs.
