This hike progresses in a magnificent setting, just look up to admire the peaks surrounding the village.

In the shade of the undergrowth, the route joins the places called La Touvière, a former tuff quarry, and La Caronière which marks the arrival at the former Chartreuse du Reposoir. You will then have the opportunity to discover this timeless building, classified as a historical monument.
