Hiking
At 1230 m in the middle of pastures, stands a chapel next to a sacred spring. In this sanctuary, a Virgin is venerated, offered in the 18th century by a bishop of Clermont Ferrand to a shepherdess who is said to have had an apparition near this spring. In this very peaceful place, you can take the path that leads to the hill, from where you can admire the panorama of the Plateau du Limon. Access from Apchon or Saint-Hippolyte.
