Shaft No. 13
Highlight • Other
It is one of 22 extraction shafts spaced 200m apart, which allowed the cuttings to be evacuated from above during the works.
It is now used as a ventilation shaft and allows the excess pressure due to the passage of trains in the tunnel to be evacuated.

La Roche Virante
Highlight • Natural Monument
At the bottom of the valley, a rocky peak keeps an enormous block of rock nicknamed the "Roche Branlante" or "Roche Virante" in balance. A legend has it that each year, on December 31, at the stroke of midnight, this enormous block rotates a full turn on itself. Others call it the Mammoth or the Mammoths. Why ? If you look at the bottom site with a little hindsight, the rocky towers then evoke the long parallel proboscis falling to the ground of several mammoths facing you!
