Points of interest on the circuit
Saint-Georges-le-Gaultier viaductThe viaduct
Built in 1913, this viaduct was intended to accommodate a railway line. The project was interrupted by the First World War and never resumed. Today, the 150-meter-long, 45-meter-high viaduct is a favorite spot for bungee jumpers.
St Georges churchSaint-Georges Church
Its origins date back to the 12th century, when a few “traces” of the old Romanesque openings remain. Built with local materials: schist, slate and Roussard sandstone. Typical of the region, this sandstone contains iron oxide, which gives it its “rusty” color.
The shell crossThe archaic cross
Called the “shell cross” because of the 5 engraved scallops. Its double-beam shape is unique in this part of Maine. It was probably used as a landmark by pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela or Mont Saint Michel.
