The Tour de Moricq has always been surrounded by legends. It was once said that an underground passage would connect it to the Angles church. Also, strange signs engraved on the north facade are said to be a plan to find a treasure buried in its depths. According to tradition, it would be a golden chest which would only be accessible at the time of the Sanctus of Midnight Mass, at Christmas. According to another legend, the tower was built by fairies in a single night.

Classified as a Historic Monument in 1915. Originally a sentinel at the edge of the mainland, then a prison and finally a granary, the Moricq Tower has suffered greatly, throughout its history, from the repeated insults of time and men. For more information on visits: 02 51 97 56 39

La Pierre aux Fées du Vigneau, a 23-meter boulder overlooking the Perron valley, was the place of choice for a garache (a sort of were-goat) and many fairies who met there on winter Saturdays to run until midnight, then lead a hellish Sabbath until dawn. After their passage, only "weed with scabs" grew, which could cure their dermatosis, it was said, those who picked it on the night of Saint John, an hour after sunset.
