The "boisseau des dîmes" is a circular, carved rock that served as a unit of measurement for the collection of taxes, in those days the tithe. The tithe is a medieval tax, adopted by the Church in the 12th century. It was a levy in money or kind on agricultural income. The purpose of this tax was to enable the practice of worship, to maintain the clergy and places of worship. For others, according to legend, it was the "devil's bushel", in the sense that its origin is unknown, but also because the stone has such a distinctive shape.
