This Romanesque style turret dates from the 12th century. It measures almost four meters high and was built from cut stone from the Ravel quarries located less than 15 kilometers away. Symbol of eternal light, the Lantern of the Dead is a mysterious construction.

Beautiful scenery, but the bike path could be better. Unfortunately, it's not paved. With luggage, it's mostly muddy after rain.
