Eggs en Provence: France's unique dinosaur egg trove
At the foot of Sainte Victoire, the mountain in Provence immortalised by Impressionist painter Paul Cezanne, a palaeontologist brushes meticulously through a mound of red clay looking for fossils.
Armed with a handbrush, a paleontologist meticulously inspects a mound of red clay at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain, in the heart of Provence, in search of very special fossils, some 75 million years old: dinosaur eggs.
The find was made in France.
The Sainte-Victoire Nature Reserve in Aix-en-Provence is home to a unique site in the world where nearly 1,000 75 million-year-old dinosaur eggs have been discovered, although all are empty to date.
The town renovated the Jas de Bouffan, this bastide, which was at the heart of Cezanne's creation, as shown by a large exhibition at the Granet Museum.
