Hiking
The old quarries of the Dendre and Congo are a historic site of exploitation of blue stone, or "small granite", from the 18th century until 1951. Today submerged, they form a vast body of water 4.5 hectares. The site is managed by the Otaries diving club and is home to rich biodiversity with more than 120 species of birds observed. The quarries, integrated into a natural setting, are a popular place for scuba diving and hiking.
