Description

Le Roux, clinging to the southern flank of the Massif Central is a town conducive to hiking. The network of fully marked Roman paths and roads offers many possibilities for walks towards the plateau or the valley.

The stone of Sainte Abeille is now embedded in a wall of the church of Roux. Here is what the legend says: the monks of Mazan wanted to take this stone which was originally in the Gallo-Roman sanctuary of the same name, but could not carry it, while two Roussignol peasants managed to do so.
This stone is reputed to be miraculous, according to the principle of frequent analogy in witchcraft, it cures ringing in the ears. You have to put your finger in the hole of the stone, before applying it to your ear to hope to heal.
Le Roux preserves from Roman times, many paths still passable, which allow to pass all year round from the lower valleys of the Rhône and the Ardèche to those of the Massif Central. Beautiful walks in perspective.
