Pas de Soucy, Scenic viewpoint in Les Vignes, France.
The Pas de Soucy presents a natural rock barrier across the Tarn River, where massive boulders obstruct the water flow beneath Roche Aiguille mountain.
During floods throughout history, the Tarn River has repeatedly submerged the entire rock formation, demonstrating the powerful force of water against stone.
Local folklore tells of a battle between Saint Enimie and the Drac devil, where Roche Sourde and Roche Aiguille rocks joined forces to trap the evil spirit.
Visitors must climb 97 steps to reach the observation platform, where a shop offers regional products including liqueurs, beers, jams, and local souvenirs.
Three natural springs join the Tarn River at this location, creating a mysterious underground passage where the water disappears beneath massive rocks.
