Description
The work of Fabienne Versé and Serge Boyer, the Tchier de Borée aligns 70 engraved stones in an 80m circle. Between art, symbols and landscape, this contemporary stone calendar invites contemplation at the foot of the Mézenc.
Geo Side:
The Tchier de Borée is a contemporary work planted in the heart of the volcanic landscapes of Boutières. Created in 2008 by Fabienne Versé and Serge Boyer, this megalithic installation consists of 70 planted stones arranged in a circle 80 meters in diameter. Each carries a symbol or message: runes, astrological signs, natural elements (air, water, fire, earth), winds, mythology... The word "Tchier" (from the local dialect) means "pile of stones": a tribute to stone, time and the memory of the territory.
From the Tchier, the hiker enjoys a wide panorama which reveals the majestic Mont Mézenc, the highest point of the Ardèche, the Suc de Sara, as well as the Gouleyou and the famous Mont Gerbier-de-Jonc, a true emblem of the Ardèche Mountains.
Hiking side:
The panorama on the horizon, between different peaks and nearby Mont Mézenc, offers a setting conducive to hiking and contemplation.
