Magnificent view after a nice, not very technical descent

Long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions associated with it, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which could be useful on the one hand, but could also be a threat as a force of nature on the other - for various purposes. A good example of the human inventiveness of earlier generations is such a mill: the heavy millstones used to grind grain or press oil, for example, could be powered by water or - as here - the wind. Hardly any of them still fulfil their original functions today, but fortunately some have at least survived as evidence of the old days.

The hotel is in a great location nearby: Auberge Les Hauts de Chenas http://www.hautsdechenas.fr. It also houses a small museum about winemaking in the region. I can only recommend it from my own experience.

Passage of the Gerbet (612 m) and Siberia (611 m) are beautiful, but also recall the martyrs of resistance who fought against occupiers.

This part located on the heights of the village of Chenas offers beautiful views of the vineyards. The path runs alongside the vineyards. Be careful, the slope steepens here.
