    This is a nice vantage point to admire the mountains in the distance, but Le Teste also has something very special. If you look up, you'll notice three skulls in a glass box. In this place the severed heads of brigands captured by the ducal guards were hung as a warning.

      Skulls that legend attributes to three brigands.

        Heads placed as a warning to wayfarers to remember the danger of the route and as a warning to bandits to remember that if captured they would have met the same fate as the three beheaded men.
