Le Caillou-qui-Bique

A legend has been perpetuated for generations on this 25 meter high stone planted on a ridge (in patois we say that it rocks).
A little step back in time...
Saint-Ghislain completes the construction of its abbey.
The devil decides that he will take advantage of the inauguration day to destroy the abbey and its occupants, by throwing an enormous stone found in the Pyrenees at the community.
An angel warns Saint-Ghislain of the imminent danger weighing on the abbey.
He gathers as many pairs of worn shoes as possible, which he slips into a huge bag and takes to the road to meet the evil one.
Coming across a poor fellow in rags with holes in his shoes at this place, the devil, quite exhausted by the heavy load, questions him: “Is the abbey of Saint-Ghislain still far away? ".
- “I’m coming from there, if it’s far!” » replies the old man while emptying his bag, filled with threadbare shoes, in front of the devil.
Discouraged and disappointed, Satan preferred to give up, dropping his heavy stone on the ground and walking away blaspheming, fooled by the subterfuge.
An hour and a half.
N.B.: some historians say that this is the legend of Saint Remacle, during the construction of Stavelot Abbey.
You are therefore free to substitute Remacle for Saint-Ghislain since this substitution does not modify the spirit of the story.
In both cases, the devil is defeated.

The Caillou-qui-bique is a rock 20 to 25 meters high composed of fragments of several natural elements. We use the term bique when a rock exceeds another rock on which it is balanced. This type of rock produces a remarkable marble but unfortunately, it is hardly possible to exploit it. Le Caillou-qui-bique is located on the edge of a path, at the bottom of the Grande Honnelle valley.

It is undoubtedly one of the most visited sites of the municipality of Honnelles. Located in the forest of Angre in Roisin, the Caillou-qui-Bique arouses curiosity for several reasons. The first is its somewhat incredible history. After all, the great stone would be the work of the devil. Satan would not have endured that Saint Remaclus built the abbey of Stavelot. To avoid the inauguration, he left the Pyrenees with a huge rock on his back to throw it on the church. But on the way he met a poor man who told him that the road was still long... Discouraged and angry because he would not arrive in time to spoil the feast, the devil in anger dropped his rock, which sank into the ground ... This rock, which seems to balance since the beginning of time, would thus be the Caillou-qui-Bique!
