Site of the Roc Branlant and the Devil’s Chapel
The shaky rock, a block of granite measuring 3 m by 3 m, left in balance on a rock table by the slow work of the waters of the river in the middle of which it is located, swings easily with a simple push. A string (or granite chaos) of granite blocks extends over a hundred meters, allowing the water to reappear, here and there, in discreet lapping. A reach (former canal bringing water to the “Little mills”) has been built. It invites you to discover plants along an ethnobotanical trail.
