The rocks are 5 million years old, dating back to the Pliozen period. They consist of sand and clay. The river Tet brought this material from the Pyernees, forming a substantial plateau that is now continuously being eroded by rain leaving needles of sandstone that look like organ pipes. %% [{Metadata Suchbegriff=' ' Kontrolle='Nein'}]
