Pich waterfall
Credit
: Parc national du Mercantour
Description
More than 140 million years ago, the sea covered this entire region. The sediment which was deposited ultimately shaped this limestone bar (Tithonian bar). The action of the glaciers revealed it and the Pich waterfall provides a remarkable spectacle thanks to it. But this spectacle will have consequences in the future: the water is cutting through the cliff which, despite its solidity, will one day be cloven in two by a craggy gorge and will be admired in turn by future generations.
