Between the Milaure plateau and the Simoust plateau is a canyon. Here you can admire the Titan's hand, a geological curiosity shaped like a hand. Legend has it that on Christmas Eve, at the stroke of midnight, the rocks open into a cave full of gold made by wizards, who hide and lose their power that night. So everyone can take their load of gold, but you must be out before the last blow strikes or you will remain prisoner with the treasure.
