beautiful view and a nice path up to the rock.

The Rocher du Chalice, located not far from the Plan Incliné in the charming town of Saint-Louis, is a natural spectacle not to be missed.

Its particular shape invites visitors to give free rein to their imagination, discovering various shapes, animals, faces and engravings sculpted by natural elements. To discover it, a walk is essential. From the Luge du Plan Incliné car park, follow the yellow dot markings for a distance of 1.2 km towards the Rocher du Chalice.
