Beautiful place! If you've never been to places with naturally formed rock, like the grand canyon, this is impressive. There are plenty of parking spaces, right next to the ticket store. When buying tickets you will get a free flyer in the language of your choosing (I know they support at least French, English, Spanish, Catalan and Dutch). Children and students get a discount. The walk from the ticket store to the site is a little less than one kilometer. On this route there are artworks and vegetation. Unfortunately for us it was even dryer than usual, so there was no water next to the path for us. The fencing looks poorly maintained and could use some work.

Otherwise, anyone from the US or Canada will laugh at the tiny scope of this, and the 5 euros you pay to see it. The badlands going into Wyoming are taller and cover as far as the eye could see with wildlife in plain view, and it's FREE. But if you truly want to see 'badlands' while in this area, at the junction just before you turn right going to the area, look left. A much more impressive and FREE but less accessible area of badlands can be seen. Otherwise, I would classify this as a tourist trap because of the 1/2 hour tour time and the...
