Roc Travers
Roc Travers submitted by LaDragonne : Roc Travers à Besse ; Site in Aquitaine:Dordogne (24) France (Vote or comment on this photo)
Bloc de grès massif dans un bois 850m au sud du village, le long d'un ancien chemin cadastré disparu et remplacé par une route goudronnée (RD 53) plus rectiligne reliant Besse à Villefranche.

Une légende voudrait qu'un militaire y ait été enterré dessous avec son cheval. Vu le poids de la roche ...
L'accès est facile, en enjambant les ronces!
Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'élément, notamment énergétique, ou de veine d'eau souterraine qui auraient pu permettre un classement parmi les mégalithes préhistoriques.
Des morceaux de cette pierre ont régulièrement été prélevés pour servir d'aiguisoirs.
Le rocher mesure environ 3m de long sur 1m de large et est profondément enterré.
C'est une roche naturelle , une belle pierre à légende.
