The Big Rock

Highlight • Natural Monument

On relatively flat ground, the rock rises among the beech trees, like an ancient fortress with vertical walls. It is a formidable natural oppidum bristling with rampart rocks, overhanging patrol paths, watchtower peaks and a summit platform. Small secret passages open up, between the blocks and the vegetation, to climb to the sunny summit from where a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside can be seen.

20m long, this path, also called the Druids' Stone, is made of sandstone stones dating from the Neolithic period. It has been classified as a Historic Monument since 1906.
