Hiking
Saint-Vincent rock is an imposing volcanic rock that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forests and valleys.
It is a natural curiosity that dates back millions of years, when lava gushed out of a crack. Later, the sea receded and a tectonic movement lifted the lava, creating the impressive rock that stands today.
You can explore the ruins of an ancient castle that once crowned the rock and admire a statue of the Virgin and Child, called “Notre Dame de là-haut”, installed in 2012.
