Program
A walk for all five senses, from the small beach at Carro to the Cap Couronne lighthouse. We’ll take the discovery trail that runs alongside the sea. We’ll take a look at the various plant species and discover their natural benefits. We’ll learn how blocks of rock from the old pink limestone quarries were extracted to build the private mansions of Provence.
Crossing the sandy plain of the great Verdon beach, we’ll reach the cliffs of saffre, where the remains of Celtic settlements lie just above the water. Finally, we’ll reach the Cap Couronne lighthouse, whose whirring sound is an invitation to travel beyond the horizon. After a guided meditation singing mantras, we’ll enjoy a picnic. We then return to Carro through the pine forest.
