Table des Pions - The Fairy ring
In local folklore the site is linked with fairies, witches, and elves and as such the locals call it the Fairy Ring. The Table des Pions is in fact one of the few existing reminders of the cavalcade known as the Chevauchée. The task of the Chevauchée was, in more recent times, to keep the King's highways clear, however many have speculated that this role was superimposed on a much older tradition.
The Fairy Ring can be found at the south-western point of the island on Pleinmont headland.
