    Imposing rock blocks that the Mèbre river has shaped by eroding in the layers of molasses, a friable rock made of consolidated sands. In a distant time, this rock was used to build some important buildings, including Lausanne Cathedral. Over time, « Le Pierre à Quatre sous », so named because of its low value, was replaced by other building materials.
