Sentier Sculpturel

Followed our hosts' advice and drove to the tiny village of Meyronne, about ten minutes from Legrasse. We parked the car and took off into the hills keeping an eye out for the many "Sentier Sculpturel" (sculpture trail) signs along the way as well as the embedded mosaics showing the direction.

"Blue String River"

The trail was very steep in parts, sometimes narrow, other times vehicle width. In one part we had to climb a step ladder to get over a new electrified fence around a vineyard and then back over 200 metres later. It was a fine way to get lost in the hills for a couple of hours. The only other living things we saw were insects - mostly flies and small grasshoppers.

There were many stops to admire the varied, unusual and dramatic sculptures installed in some very inaccessible places.

Here is a selection.
