    The Rocher des Géants is an exposed rock slab with countless bowls that were filled with rainwater when we visited. Long ago, the bowls could have been used for various medicinal purposes, for preparing herbal extracts, intoxicating and healing potions.

        The Rock of the Giants
        At the end of the ridge path, the rock of the giants spreads out over several meters and is dotted with holes in the rock.
        some people go there to enjoy its "cosmo-telluric" waves.
        ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ very impressive, this magical place.
