Refuge d'Art "Le Vieil Esclangon"

“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. “
Andy Goldsworthy
