La Pierre qui Tourne used to sway slightly on its base, hence its name and the many local legends surrounding it. The Gallic peoples attributed mysterious powers to it, and its movements were used to read the future. It was sealed off in the 19th century, after a forester looking for buried treasure tried to knock it over. ? A curiosity to discover on your next stroll through Bézancourt.
