The picturesque village of Masgot is dedicated to the stone. In the 19th century, François Michaud, village resident, has made many sculptures characteristics of folk art to beautify their properties. It draws from its environment to create a world where staff take up an eagle, a dog, a badger, a crusader, a siren, Marianne, and even a puzzle ...
A small path leads to the stone Tournadouère through a very special altar and some dry stone structures.
In summer, the birthplace of François Michaud is furnished open.
Free tours year-round, with commentary by the association "Friends of the Stone" on request and visits by audio guides in English and French.
