Ponsas walks

In a wood near Saint Barthélémy de Vals, these rocks form a group of 51 blocks arranged in three roughly concentric circles covering nearly 6 hectares, hence the name "Cromlech de la Roche qui danse" (Dancing Rock Cromlech). Legend has it that "at the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, the rocks begin to dance". Please note: see the practical information section.

The northern Côtes du Rhône wine region has a strong identity and a remarkable landscape characterised by steep hillsides. It is a land of great wines, renowned throughout the world. Building on this wine-growing asset, the Rhône Crussol Community of Communes and the Arche Agglo Urban Community have joined forces with professionals from the Côtes du Rhône appellation to develop a tourism promotion project. This has resulted in the creation of five discovery trails for the Cornas, Crozes-Hermitage, Hermitage, Saint Joseph and Saint Péray AOCs.
