Cuviers de la Faye

Menat

In the heart of the forest, the Faye vats, better known as the Bloody Countess vats, are a natural curiosity linked to a frightening legend…

Accessible from the path that runs along the old disused shale factory, a discovery trail of the local fauna and flora allows a pleasant walk, in the undergrowth, which runs along the stream and leads to the vats. A panel will explain to you how the formidable Countess of the Two Forts used these vats to try to preserve her complexion… Sensitive souls abstain!
