    According to legend, it is the Durandal sword of Roland
    "Legend has it that Roland also tried to break his Durandal sword on a rock so that it would not fall into the hands of the Saracens, but it was the rock that broke. (NDE. Le Pas de Roland).
    Legend has it that Roland, unable to break his Durandal sword, asked the Archangel Saint Michael to help him save it from the infidels. Roland threw it with all his might towards the valley. Durandal crossing the air for miles, came to plant himself in the rock of the sanctuary of Rocamadour.
