'Le Fosse' is a historic and important area for geology, mineralogy, paleontology, and paleobotany. It is a large depression caused by a volcanic explosion millions of years ago, later filled by the surrounding seawater, forming a brackish basin: essentially, it is the remains of an ancient atoll, similar to modern-day Hawaii. The site is a remarkable fossil deposit, where casts—mostly plant—of both continental and marine origin have been found.

Today, it appears as a dense, shady forest: this particular highlight is characterized by paleolandslides, boulders that chaotically collapsed in ancient times, including two inclined boulders that form a unique and evocative stone arch. An educational trail has been created here, with information panels about an ancient stone bridge, an old lime kiln, and the origins of the valley.
