  Dentelles de Montmirail - Biocrawler
The Dentelles de Montmirail are a small chain of mountains in Provence, France, in the départment of Vaucluse, located just to the south of Vaison-la-Romaine.
Their name (dentelles means "lace") refers to the dramatically jagged shape of their peaks, formed by horizontal strata of Jurassic limestone being folded and forced into a nearly upright position and subsequently eroded into sharp-edged ridges and spikes.
The highest peak of the Dentelles is St-Amand, at 734 m (2,400 ft).
