    Hiking

    La Brèche de Roland is a natural gateway between France and Spain. It marks a passage 40 meters wide in the middle of the cliff.

    If we easily understand the name of breach, we can wonder why Roland's breach. According to legend, it was Roland, the son of Charlemagne, who caused this hole when he tried to destroy his sword by hitting it against the wall. So myth or no myth?
