City to discover. I used to walk through it without stopping, that was a mistake. A city marked by a true history and a past.

A natural gem to discover! The Puits d’Enfer (Hell's Well) is an impressive site, ideal for a refreshing walk in the heart of nature. The scenery is magnificent, with limestone cliffs and lush vegetation. The trail is well-maintained and accessible, perfect for an outing with family or friends. A must-see if you're in the area!

Very nice walk in the forest with a path impassable for strollers or bicycles: lots of roots on the ground and rocks. A great tour in the forest!

Better equipped than many campsites! The restrooms are super clean, and they even provide toilet paper and soap. The shower costs €1 (coin-operated) and runs for 8 minutes. Bike washing (including cleaner) is free. There's also a garage for bike parking, which you can lock if you have a lock with you. We loved it!

.Pretty reservoir, where the path that borders it is very nice. The lake is dependent on its filling. A beautiful place for a star-studded stopover
