    Cycling

    The Bécherelle stone is a monolithic rock of about fifteen meters which served as a landmark for the sailors. Formerly a toll place for the lords, then a source of backfill material for the construction of railway lines, Bécherelle stone is now used for climbing training.

    This 350 million year old monolith has only been a separate monolith from the rest of the cliff since around 1850.

    Hiking

    Located downstream from the confluence of the Maine and the Loire, on the banks of the river, and facing the northern tip of the island of Béhuard, Pierre Bécherelle is an enormous and very old natural monolith. Its name comes from “Béchet”, pike in old local dialect. The place was famous for fishing for this fish.
