LE CHAPEAU DE GENDARME

Between Saint-Claude and Septmoncel towards Geneva. Since the Revolution, gendarmes have worn a hat (chapeau) of a specific shape. By analogy, the inhabitants of Septmoncel have given this interesting geological formation, which can be discovered on the winding road to Septmoncel, a name of national bearing. On the way, you will also find a vantage point over the Flumen transverse valley called "Le Saut du Chien” (the Dog’s Jump).
