Black-and-white photographic postcard of "Le Sphinx," one of the celebrated rock formations at Montpellier-le-Vieux in the Aveyron department of southern France. The towering dolomitic limestone pillar, weathered into a profile resembling a crouching sphinx, rises dramatically from a wooded gorge, with additional ruiniform rock stacks visible in the background. Montpellier-le-Vieux is one of the most spectacular natural rock cities in France. Card no. 3 in the Aveyron series.
