After lunch in a breazy restaurant we continue our trip to get in touch with nature. If ever you have heard about the adventures of "Asterix and Obelix", the very special rocks along the way will remind you menhirs. You may have some short hikes, just to get a feeling for this kind of "Natures architecture".
Following in our 4x4 cars the sandy way lined with menhirs in different shapes, you may also meet a little shepherdess with her flock of sheep. Dressed in colorfull clothes, she is following the nomad tradititons and her daily routine.
