The second part of the village's name comes from the large number of empty stone tombs placed in the cemetery surrounding the church. The church is the central location of the village, next to the mayor and not far from a mini-market and a few shops.

Le Moulin Cayenne

Highlight • Structure

Fantastic view of the mill (Le Moulin Cayenne) on the Cousin river. The whole route leads past several old mills. A super low-traffic route. Definitely a drive!

Route retrieved from the tourist office website and modified to leave from the hotel. No big difficulties, but some cleats (especially at the exit of D'Asquins). Road with little traffic at the end of May, and magnificent landscapes.
