Le Moulin-Foulon

Discover this wonderful site in which the legend tells of the love of King Arthur and his wife. They settled in two caves on either side of the river. The king can join his wife only after sunset. But one day, when he can't stand it any longer, he goes to see her before nightfall. A chasm in the stream is opened... The king disappears and the queen, desperate, rushes to it.
