Back in 1892, a carpenter had a project to construct stairs for entering the Devil's Bridge Gorges.
This adventure had been juged as grazy by his surroundings : the site was dangerous; subject of many
superstitions; the technical means were too limited.

Several years of labour were needed to equip the area of footbridges, stairs and steps carved out of the
same rock.
These installations would survive their creator, some even until 1950 !
Even today we can see some of those amazingly remains.
