    The Chapeau de Gendarme, located in the Jura department, is a distinctive rock formation resembling a gendarme's hat. Rising majestically from the landscape, it provides a unique and iconic landmark.

    The "Gendarme hat" is a geological rarity that resembles the hat of the gendarmes after the revolution. A little below the ruisseau de Chapy falls into the valley (due to the drought, only a small trickle can be seen in the picture)
