In the northern part of the forest is the "Tomb of Merlin", a remnant of a Neolithic covered dolmen structure.
It has been largely destroyed with dynamite by treasure hunters after the site became associated with the Arthurian figure of Merlin in 1889.

According to the legend, having seduced Merlin, Viviane imprisoned him in an invisible prison, and then locked him in a tomb: Merlin, having lain down in a pit, had two enormous stones cast down on him.
Today, it became an important site of neopagan pilgrimages.
Visitors to the site might leave flowers and a note to Merlin, often with a wish, or some kind of devotional object.

The Fontaine dite de Jouvence (Fountain of Youth) is a water hole near the Tomb of Merlin.
Also nearby there is an old tree known as the chêne des Hindrés.
