At the foot of the renowned Roquefort, a village with a long-standing cheese tradition, let yourself be charmed by a hiking loop which goes into the Soulzon valley through a refreshing undergrowth: a family getaway along the banks of the brook.

You will see on the creek bank an impressive 3 m metre high stone stuck in the ground. Different interpretations have been given about it: is it a mere remnant of the Combalou's fallen rocks, upon which two crosses were carved in the medieval times to turn it say, into a boundary stone between the Montclarat and the Tournemire communities? Or is it an ancient menhir that was Christianised as so many other megaliths were? In any case, this stone is an enthralling excuse to explore the Soulzon valley throughout a maze of rocks and lush vegetation
