Exploring the 13 kilometres of this trail, you will walk along on the limestone rocky trails which run through small valleys adorned with the Souel-Livers’ plateaux cliffs. You will also discover its delicate vine landscape where the white stone brightens up the stunning local architecture.
The other inspired hill :
As an architectural tribute to the passing of time, Cordes sur Ciel holds an intense power of seduction that knows how to act on great minds. In 1908, Thomas E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) met it, forgotten: "An artist could (...) paint here for a year without repeating himself, and all his pictures would be beautiful: it is a dream city with also, in addition, a touch of nightmare". In 1954, Albert Camus noted: "one travels for years without really knowing what one is looking for (...) and one suddenly arrives in one of those (...) places which await each of us in this world. The traveller who, from the terrace of Cordes, looks out over the summer night, knows that he does not need to go any further, and that if he wants to, the beauty here (...) will take him away from all solitude".
