Walking and Hiking Trail (PR)

Walking

By mountain bike

This rather shady nature trail gives you the opportunity to take a picnic break near the Garreau chapel.
The diversity of trees and habitats make it possible to observe some traces of small game.
In autumn and winter mainly, you will also see the mosses which, thanks to the abundant water, are very green.
