Le Trou des Fées and Old Mill Ruins of Chassepierre

Extraordinary vestige of the Tertiary era, a network of underground galleries dug out by man in the lime tuff (cron).

The site of the old Chassepierre mill is located between the presbytery and the church. Unfortunately, it was demolished in 1980, but this allowed the updating of the vestiges of a much older occupation of the site and of its geological origin, nicely called the “Trou des Fées”: a network of galleries dug by men in the limestone rock (cron) which extends to join the cellars of the presbytery and forms a mysterious network, attributed, perhaps, to the place of residence of magical beings…

The Trou des Fées in Chassepierre is a network of underground galleries dug by man in the cron (limestone rock). They extend under the foundations of the old mill and join the presbytery where they merge with the cellars. The Trou des Fées as well as the ruins of the old mill have been restored and are open to visitors freely.
