Hiking - LE BEAUSSET - Tête de Cade

The shaded path through this forest gem offers glimpses of remnants testifying to the past exploitation of the Provençal hills.

"I enjoy exploring this site because I interact with its landscape! I like to imagine that the Aleppo pines and holm oaks try to conceal the structures built in eras when the local forest was more directly exploited. I then try to unearth as many as possible: an old hunting blind (agachon), stone heaps (pierriers), a low wall, kilns, a signature carved into a slab. My hike becomes a journey through time and a treasure hunt, with an 's' on the end." Marjorie Ughetto, naturalist guide, Autres Regards.
