While cycling through the countryside, be sure to visit the Alignements de Sainte-Barbe. These impressive megalithic stones, arranged in a particular alignment, are a fascinating historical site dating back thousands of years. Situated in a peaceful rural setting, the stones are easily accessible by quiet cycle paths, and the surrounding landscape adds to the charm.

The stone rows of Sainte-Barbe are located at the northeastern exit of the town. Dozens of stones stand or lie in several rows, the largest around 5 meters high. A calm place worth seeing.
