Don't miss these strange stone mushrooms that have emerged from the earth only a few kilometres from Fourcalquier! Several routes are possible to reach this unusual site from the tourist office and by climbing the path that passes by the chapel of Saint Marc. The shortest is entirely marked out in yellow. Another one combines yellow, white and red and then yellow again. Important information for people with reduced mobility: you can also get there by following the D12, known as the route de Fontienne.

The geology of Les Mourres is spectacular, with the presence of numerous limestone rocks with original shapes that stand out in the traditional surrounding landscape of the Pays de Forcalquier. It is the progressive erosion of the marl originally enveloping them that has revealed them. But the interest of the place is also due to the presence of a particular fauna and flora that have adapted to the harshness of this natural semi-desert environment. This is how you can observe, among others, the presence of the Villars broom heath, the ocellated lizard, the Lusitania marbled bird or the eared traquet...

Didactic panels will help you on the spot to describe your own observations in more detail. An important piece of advice however: this natural area is fragile. It is important to preserve it by not straying from the marked paths and not climbing on the rocks. Also remember to keep dogs on a leash
