Roc Branlant and the Devil

Having enjoyed many a walk around Grand Etang de Saint-Estèphe, we have often passed the sign for 'Boucle de Grand Roc' and finally followed the loop to discover the Roc Branlant (Wobbly Rock) and Chapelet du Diable (Devil's Rosary). The 'granite chaos' stretches 250m along La Doue stream and is a magnificent geological site. Read on to find out about the history and the myths related to this wonderful sight, and how to get here.
