The organs of Valsenestre, in the Ecrins massif. A spectacular geological site, the Orgues de Valsenestre (or Grande Bibliothèque - Great Library) are formed of thin strata, dating from the Lias, of blue-grey limestone and softer, more eroded schistose marl, compressed and laminated and raised vertically by the Alpine orogeny - Valsenestre - Massif des Ecrins - Alpes
