The legend of Rock Bayard
It is said that 4 knights, each a son of Aymon, were trying to escape Charlemagne, riding a magic bay horse. As the extraordinary creature jumped over the Meuse near Dinant, one of its mighty hooves touched the cliff, separating the ridge from the rest of the rocky formation.
