The site is a former marl chalk quarry whose extraction pits can still be seen. The slopes, which were redeveloped during rehabilitation of the site in the late 1970s, are slowly being colonised by vegetation. Situated in the heart of the hills of the Cuesta du Boulonnais, the grasslands here conceal some real treasures. With a dozen species of orchids following one another from April to July, it’s a guaranteed spectacle for flower lovers.
