In the middle of a beautiful labyrinth of paths, you can see this view towards the west/sunset. It looks like a hilly natural landscape, but you don't even notice that there are villages not far in the valley. However, not all of the paths marked on Komoot exist (anymore) above this, and some are probably overgrown.

The castle of Sallmard or Peyrins was built in the 17th century. During the Second World War the castle, within which there was a children's home, gave shelter to 130 Jewish children by hiding them among its residents.
