The Sélune, 84 km long, ends its journey in the English Channel. It is one of the few rivers where migrating salmon come up the river from the sea to complete their life cycle.

Montgommery Castle was rebuilt in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 16th century, the castle took the name of the Montgommery family. Famous, Gabriel I of Montgommery, owner of the castle, took part in the rue Saint-Antoine tournament and, by bad luck, mortally wounded King Henri II in the eye. Interestingly, this did not result in his own death. It was his conversion to Protestantism that led to his execution and the confiscation of his castle. Two years after his death, Henry III authorized Gabriel I de Montgommery's son, Gabriel II, to reoccupy the castle.

This polisher, dating from around 4,000 BC, is a quartz block of modest size, 1.25 m by 0.50 m, barely level with the grass. On its surface, there are a dozen parallel grooves and a basin. The bowl was used to polish flints and the grooves to sharpen the edges of axes. Excavations have uncovered polished axes, one of which is jade. The place is also called "Pierre de Saint-Benoît". Because according to one of the legends attached to this monument, it would be Saint Benedict petrified: the pink veins that run through the block would be the veins of the saint and the grooves his ribs. The water in the basin is said to have curative and febrifuge properties: feverish people came on pilgrimage, sprinkled themselves with this water and placed offerings in the grooves, hoping for the cure of their ailments. It is reached by a little busy and very pleasant little road.
