It is said that the inhabitants of Bains, exasperated by these elves, met and swore to get rid of these cumbersome dwarves. The latter heard about this assembly and the next Sunday, to get revenge, they poisoned the blessed bread which was to be distributed to the congregation during the mass.
A lord called " Joues Rouges" (Red Cheeks) because of his Herculean force and the vigorous blood which coloured his cheekbones, had the idea to take a piece before the mass and to give it to one of his dogs. It died immediately and Red Cheeks, who was also possibly known as a sorcerer, saved in this way the life of the parish. Maybe you will discover these elves or " Joues Rouges" (Red Cheeks) in the path close to the SAINT LAURENT chapel, where you will take part in the restoration of the ruins of a water mill that has suffered from neglect over time.
