Vallon of Rencurel
During the ascent to the Pas du Follet, admire the view over the Rencurel valley, dominated by the rocks of Méaudre and the Rochers de Gonson. It was here that part of the film was filmed: "Une hironelle a fait le printemps" by Christian Carion in 2001.Former coalmining
During the last war, lumberjacks and coal miners lived there.During this period, coal miners made charcoal in metal furnaces, while the ancestral method perpetuated by some until the sixties was to carbonize logs of beech, skillfully arranged in grindstones covered with earth, shelter from the air. It took 50 tons of wood to get 10 tons of coal.In 1998, a man revived the past by reviving this charcoal hut.
