Les empreintes de pas d'oiseaux

The bird footprint sites in the Bès valley represent the capture in stone of an ephemeral moment. The landscape at the time was that of a shallow marine gulf, bounded to the north and east by land, the foothills of the young sub-alpine ranges. This gulf, lined with beaches, accumulated over 1,000 m of sediment, "recording" both the history of marine life and tectonic deformations. These deposits constitute a veritable archive that preciously preserves the Earth's memory.
