  • From the old town center and its pink-clad monuments, this panoramic loop along the irrigation canals leads to the Guillestrois marble quarries, from the oldest to the most recent.

  • Along the canals, we'll trace the history of this material back to the various pink veins, evoking how it was mined, cut, transported and used.

    Practical info: 2h discovery walk, 3h total (D+ 250m/9km).

    Outing supervised by a mountain leader and Pays d'art et d'histoire guide. Walking shoes, water, hat.
