Possible Carving in Provence:Alpes-de Haute-Provence 04. The "Gres" sandstone outcrops above the town of Annot are well known to rock climbers. The Chambre du Roi ("King's Chamber") is a rock formation with massive walls forming "hallways".
What I think is an "oculus" carving is around 20 feet up on a wall which you pass when moving between the "Jardin du Roi" (King's Garden) and the Chambre du Roi.
The whole area is beautiful, and when we were there last week (end of June) we saw almost nobody on our walks.
