also good to do on a racing bike

I think the direction Grues-Lairoux is more fun, as it is longer downhill

It's like that in every town here. The World War II memorial stands next to the church, which usually has a colorful door.

Isolated dolmen in the countryside but still accessible.

This isolated tower is an old keep built on the Moricq castle mound. The castle to which it was attached no longer exists today.

This Menhir (standing stone) is very impressive and well worth stopping to visit.

The Tour de Moricq has always been surrounded by legends. It was once said that an underground passage would connect it to the Angles church. Also, strange signs engraved on the north facade are said to be a plan to find a treasure buried in its depths. According to tradition, it would be a golden chest which would only be accessible at the time of the Sanctus of Midnight Mass, at Christmas. According to another legend, the tower was built by fairies in a single night.

Classified as a Historic Monument in 1915. Originally a sentinel at the edge of the mainland, then a prison and finally a granary, the Moricq Tower has suffered greatly, throughout its history, from the repeated insults of time and men. For more information on visits: 02 51 97 56 39
