With a rich past of more than 2000 years, the Rhone Valley has forged its history around myths and legends. The one of the "Pierre du Diable" (Devil's stone) dates back to the 9th century and finds its origin near Carpentras, one of the cities of the Ventoux appellation.

Presentation
According to the legend, the Devil pushed a rock on a chapel built by the King Charlemagne and dedicated to the Virgin Mary in order to destroy it. The "Devil’s Stone” was stopped by Mary. Since that time, it still overlooks the small Chapel and one can still see three claw marks left by the devil on the rock.
