Culture and main sights edit

Dabo Rock and Saint-Léon chapel edit

Dabo is mainly known for its rock, named "le Rocher de Dabo", in French. It is a pink sandstone rock crowned by the Saint-Léon chapel. Before the building of this religious site, there was a medieval castle.[5]

This place used to be a celtic worship site. Nowadays, legends are still told about the rock.[5]

The troglodyte houses edit

Two troglodyte houses are still visible today in Dabo. They were inhabited until 1902.[6] Nowadays, tourists and hiking enthusiasts can still visit this place.
