Hiking

This little chapel, which seems to have been balanced on its rocky outcrop by a divine hand, has nothing extraordinary in itself. On the other hand, what is extraordinary is its location and the breathtaking view that we have from its promontory.

Hiking

This place of worship, the chapel "Saint-Michel-de-Cousson", was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (coming from the Hebrew language) means “Who is like God?” He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human understanding) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints' calendar is September 29th.
