What does this number measure?
Jagged limestone ridges above the vineyards of Vaucluse. The Dentelles de Montmirail owe their silhouette to upturned rock layers and erosion. The value gives the altitude of the highest point, not the height of the cliffs alone.
Compare the stated dimensions
The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.
Source and limitations
Catalogue order of magnitude; a source is provided, but this measurement has not been individually audited.
