Walk · 1 h · free · rock needle beside the road, 1 km south of the centre

South of the centre, the Anseremme road passes through a gap between the cliff and a detached needle of rock about 40 metres high: the Bayard Rock. Legend says it was split with one blow of the hoof by the horse Bayard, who carried the four Aymon sons fleeing from Charlemagne.
The walk
Leave the centre along the right bank of the Meuse, next to the collegiate church, and walk south. It is about twenty minutes to the rock, and from there you can continue to Anseremme, where the Lesse joins the Meuse and where the kayak descent ends.
