Geocache Description:

Mont Pothu


Placée 2 km au nord-ouest de Brullioles, cette cache est située dans un bois à une altitude de 818m.

Located 2 km north-west of Brullioles, this cache is situated at an elevation of 818m in a wood.

Le Mont Pothu avec ses roches basaltiques (appelées communément les pierres bleues) et la Pierre Pothu traditionnellement associée à un ancien autel druidique sont auréolés de légendes. Gargantua s’y serait disputé avec le diable, et la Pierre était reliée au culte de la fécondité : jusqu’au milieu du XXème siècle, des jeunes couples venaient y danser, certains de s’attirer bonheur et prospérité. Vous pouvez vous approcher de la cache de diverses directions, mais j’ai employé le chemin partant près du Gonet.

Mont Pothu with its basaltic rocks (commonly called blue stones) and the Pothu Stone traditionally associated with an old druidic altar are sacred legends. It is there that Gargantua is said to have disputed with the devil, and the Stone was connected to the worship of fertility: until the middle of the XXth century, young couples came to dance there to be blessed with happiness and prosperity. You can approach the cache from various directions, but the path starting from near Le Gonnet is the one that I used.
