“Le Vieil Esclangon” Art Refuge
Unique experience than that of Andy Goldsworthy, internationally recognized artist, who imagines a project combining contemporary art and safeguarding rural heritage on the protected territory of the Geopark of Haute-Provence, around Digne les Bains.
Description
“When you go up towards the house, on a winding path, you have the
red color in the look and red color on the feet. We then arrive
in the house and we look at this wall with this red and sinuous line. I
think it will be a great echo to the hike. “
