The name comes from the sound of water rushing through the ground and evokes a song.
In the centre of Olne, the water of a stream disappears into a cavity at the foot of a small cliff.
It is the sound of the water rushing through the ground and evoking a song that gave rise to the word “chantoire”.
Underground, the water continues its course and resurfaces in Vaux-sous-Olne in the garden of the “Villa des Hirondelles”, 760 metres away and 60 metres lower.
