littleocky visited on 1st Aug 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 3 If you drive from Mayenne towards La Haie-Traversaine towards the bottom of the hill there is a turning on the left marked "Les Canaries" and "La Pillerie". Almost immediately after this is a turning on the right whose sign is overgrown, but this is the road you want. Follow this until you reach a T-junction where you turn right. On the left hand side you will see a small chapel which is where you can park. On the right hand side of the chapel there is a track down to the river. After about 10 minutes you will reach the river where there is a small bridge (much firmer than it looks!) which takes you across a stream to the Chair of the Devil. This is a large lump of stone with some weathering, but which is otherwise in good order. There were no signs or explanatory notes at the site. It is a beautifully scenic position!
