The origin of the place's name is mysterious. According to some, this name comes from a transcription of the name "Trou du Perdu" (Perisher's Hole). Amidst pine trees, heather, and blueberry bushes, this place represents a steep landscape where the Fourneau stream has shaped a gorge with a waterfall. A little higher up, a waterfall has formed and accentuates the erosion downstream. Above, the stream trickles over a slab of black sandstone. This formed above a significant layer of waterproof marl that stopped the infiltration of the sand present here to above it. A beautiful waterfall has formed due to the presence of the stream and the erosion that followed.
