Closed for two years due to the pandemic, the rocky labyrinth of the Organs of Ille-sur-Têt (Pyrénées-Orientales) was finally able to reopen this Saturday.
Located 30 kilometers from Perpignan, this arid site has fairy chimneys, sandy columns ten to 12 meters high sculpted by erosion, details France 3 Occitanie.
An ephemeral and classified site
The place has also been listed since 1981 in the list of “natural monuments and sites of an artistic, historical, scientific, legendary or picturesque nature”.
When the Organs reopened for the Easter weekend, many visitors made the trip to discover or rediscover the site, which has been described as “the most beautiful part of the Catalan Far West”.
An important section of the Organs had already reopened after the confinements.
Only the labyrinth had remained closed to the public because of its narrowness favoring contamination.
Tourists now have a few hundred years to discover this lunar setting before rain and wind destroy it.
