This disused sandstone quarry, located in a fairly busy communal wood, includes a series of excavations dug in the right slope of the Samson valley and separated by slopes partly covered with dumps forming unstable scree in places. The rafts, partially used until 1997 for waste deposits, are currently being developed (educational and tourist purposes); a small pond was thus created on one of the riffles, fed by a seepage. The site, colonized by acid-loving vegetation, is especially interesting for the wet zone resulting from the main seepage, with the presence of a few plants of Hypericum androsaemum.

Opposite the quarry you will find an open lawn with a picnic area. The tables are large cut stone blocks. The area is fenced to keep wild boars at bay. At the beginning and end of the clearing there are two artificial poles: "Là où l'engoulevent se perche." (Where the nightjar resides).
