Cirque de Calès
Lamanon - Site
Après avoir emprunté la Calade (chemin de pierre), on entre dans le cirque par une enceinte fortifiée aussi bien côté nord que sud. A l'intérieur, on peut découvrir à la base des deux falaises est et ouest, 58 des 116 grottes troglodytes recencées dans le site de Calès. Initialement, ces grottes ont été créées en extrayant des blocs de pierres nécessaires à la construction du château féodal (qui surplombait le cirque). Elles ont été transformées ensuite en habitat troglodyte pour héberger la population vivant dans ce cirque sous la tutelle du seigneur (jusqu'à 220 personnes). On peut voir des anneaux de suspension, des silos, des larmiers à l'extérieur, des trous de poutres). Un fléchage couleur vert vous permet de découvrir le Cirque de Calès. Départ 100 m derrière l'église du village. Vous pouvez poursuivre votre promenade en découvrant l'église de Saint-Denis de Calès, et les ruines des chapelles Ste-Marie et St-Jean.
