Take a guided hike, in a truly unusual place, with breathtaking landscapes and a rich history.

During a 7 km hike, you will discover this career shaped by Man, today claimed by Mother Nature.
Its history is interwoven with that of the coal mines: the work of these courageous workers has revealed in the cliff waves nuanced of ochre, sometimes orange, sometimes pink.
Today, it is a ZNIEFF (Natural area of ecological interest, faunistic and floristic) where nature has made its refuge and the rare species are numerous: owl grand-duc, green toad and brown pélobate, falcons, bats...
Wildflowers bloom on the shores of tranquil waters, where birds and their young pass.
A visit that promises to be as rewarding as exotic.
