Claret

Of national interest and known worldwide, it is the most popular climbing site in the department.

With an average level of 7b, well equipped but with a very overhanging relief, it is mainly practiced by experienced climbers. Because of its exceptional setting, the good quality of its rock and its style of climbing, the cliff is appreciated all year round, especially in winter, with its south-facing bar.
