Le Cousson, which rises to an altitude of 1516 meters, is the emblematic summit and must-see hike for the people of Digny. Legend has it that only at the foot of this mountain could people live happily in its shade. Etymologically speaking, the name Cousson comes from the Latin cossonus (coussoun in Provençal) meaning “wooden bowl used by shepherds for milking and drinking”. At its summit stands the pretty little chapel of Saint-Michel de Cousson, strangely perched on the edge of the cliff. According to an ancient tradition, a pilgrimage brings the faithful here every Whit Monday.
