It is the site of a Roman camp dating from the Iron Age which, until its demolition, was a unique megalithic site in the region of Chinon. Apart from the few large boulders and stones left behind, the different colored heather growing in the area is the most striking visual highlight.

Old hill on which was probably erected a Roman oppidum of which there is no vestige. The place is however worth the detour for its many varieties of heather.
