The Day at the Rock Quarry

LACOSTE 005

 

Pierre Cardain Castle entrance area

So we spent the day doing some exploring in Lacoste. SCAD owns part of the rock quarry near the town and it is an amazing place with all sorts of art, in all forms. Sculpture, drawings, paintings, has a little bit of it all. The path there is a beautiful hidden part of the town with a view of the entire valley.

You take the path and go right after the stone lizard to lead you into the quarry area. Hearing the birds chirping and the sun on my back made this experience with my new found friends, all that more joyous.

a perfect meditation spot….

I can’t say enough how amazing this place is. This trip has opened my eyes to a entirely different world, that I knew existed but never had a chance to see it from this perspective. This experience has expanded my horizons more than I could have ever imagined.
