After his travel to the tumb of Jesus, in the 6th century, Berthauld, son of an Irish king, travelled to France. When he arrived at the forest of Chaumont-Porcien , he saw the "Bald Mount", called like this because there were no trees on it, whereas the forest covered all the rest of the landscape. Berthauld became Saint-Berthauld, because he spread the God's word in an pagan area. After his dead, an abbey was built. Destroyed many times, there is nothing left. Thanks to Isidore Fressancourt, a chapel was built in 1876, on the "Bald Mount", still standing, and a way to discover histories and legends of "Porcien".
