What is the name of this rock formation?
 
Came across this formation while driving from Aix-en-Provence to Sisteron, but could never find out the name of the formation or the nearby town.

I thought French rocks were all named Pierre.

Lynn, the Rock of Baume is the rock formation at Sisteron.
As Gardyloo suggested, the formation in question is Les Pénitents and the nearby village is Les Mées.
