Itinerary to be followed with the family. A stop at Mr. Grancier, where more than 500 Triassic dinosaur footprints are visible, is highly recommended. All along the route, let yourself be surprised by the curious shapes of the sandstone rocks.

Description
Around thirty dinosaur footprints have been found in Triassic sandstone in Payzac in Ardèche. In particular, four hand-foot tracks were discovered, which is rare. Other footprints exist in southern Ardèche, but those of Payzac are unique: a study has determined that these tracks belong to a single species of dinosaur, unknown elsewhere: the coelurosaurichnus grancieri (named after Mr. Grancier, their inventor).
