A natural curiosity in the heart of the Haute-Provence Geopark, the Blade de Facibelle is a miracle of balance. This 50-metre-high veil of rock rises from the center of the famous Vélodrome site.

At the gateway to the Bès valley, this immense sheet of sandstone molasse, upright and isolated by erosion, defies time and gravity. The rocks that make up the Vélodrome are less than 20 million years old, and were partly deposited in a shallow sea bordered by relief, the last sea to bathe our landscape.
