This is not a former crossroads, but the old Le Chatellier railway station. This station was used for loading iron ore from the St Clair mines.

Interesting castle ruin with a very good view. Ideal for a small picnic. The castle was built by Henry I, King of England from 1100 to 1135.

A very pretty medieval town with old buildings and, unfortunately, many closed shops. The church of St. Julien is particularly worth a visit.
