Onvergetelijk en indrukwekkend: De Grotte du Mas d'Azil is iets wat je zeker eens moet hebben gezien. 👀 Rijd er met de auto doorheen of loop met een gids de fascinerende wereld van de stalactieten en stalagmieten tegemoet. Ontdek hoe prehistorische mensen leefden en bewonder eeuwenoude kunstvoorwerpen en fossielen in het bijbehorende museum. 🧐 #grottedumasdazil #ariège #zuidfrankrijk #vakantieinfrankrijk #tourismeariege

3/6 - Église sur fond rouge Il est 00h40. L'éclairage public est éteint depuis plus d'une demi-heure dans le village du Mas-d'Azil mais il ne fait pas complètement noir grâce à la lueur persistante de l'aurore. Je marche dans les petites rues et finis par tomber sur l'église Saint-Étienne reconnaissable par son clocher octogonal et son bulbe couvert en ardoise. L'ambiance est irréelle avec ce fond rouge dessinant parfaitement le contour des bâtiments. www.maximesacre.com #so_photo #sudouest #suddelafrance #occitanie #voyageoccitanie #laregionoccitanie #ariege #ariegeledpt #ariegezvous #ariegementbeau #masdazil #aurore #auroreboreale #northernlights
