From Peyro Clabado to the old quarry, via the Quarrymen’s Cross and the Enchanted Oak, walk in the footsteps of the ancient stonemasons and discover the remains of their work from before the industrialisation of granite quarrying.
After this short walk, don’t miss a visit to the Espace Jean Cros next to the Sphinx to find out more about these ‘Peiraires’!
The legend of the enchanted oak:
Legend has it that anyone who spends time near the tree will enjoy prosperity throughout the year.
This legend, like many others in the Sidobre, dates back to the time of the ‘peiraires’ who worked the granite at the Pic des Fourches in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Indeed, many were able to increase their income thanks to their work with this stone.
During your walks or hikes, in the forests or villages, you’ll find plenty of other legends to transport you to a world of imagination… (Babo the snail, the little elephant, the Balme de l’Empreinte, the Giant’s Tongue, Sidobron the megalith, the Roc de l’Oie, etc.)
