La Pierre aux Fées du Vigneau, a 23-meter boulder overlooking the Perron valley, was the place of choice for a garache (a sort of were-goat) and many fairies who met there on winter Saturdays to run until midnight, then lead a hellish Sabbath until dawn. After their passage, only "weed with scabs" grew, which could cure their dermatosis, it was said, those who picked it on the night of Saint John, an hour after sunset.
