A short loop in the forest, to be done in the shade. You'll walk through a splendid beech forest on a north-facing slope, the ubac.
Description
You'll walk along the majestic avenue of Great Cedars planted in the 20th century to the Auberge des Dauphins, a remarkable building constructed in the 1930s by Maurice Burrus, a wealthy Alsatian industrialist and lover of the Saoû forest. Its architecture was inspired by the Petit Trianon in Versailles. The building is soon to be restored and turned into a site house (reception, flora and fauna museum area, tea room).
You'll head for the "piste des coupes", cross a narrow stream bed (dry or wet, depending on the season), climb up the "montée des coupes", and take the wide Burrus tourist road (28km in all, once open for a tour in vintage vehicles).
