Col du Montivernoux 1320m.
Suc de Montivernoux
The legend tells that there were once three very pious shepherds from the same family. One lived in Soutron, the other in Lachamp-Raphaël, and the last in Saint-Andéol-de-Fourchades. They communicated using fires lit during the night. One night, there was no fire in Soutron. The next day, the shepherd was found dead on the rock. To celebrate his exemplary life, the inhabitants of the region built a small chapel on the rock.
