The Frotey Clog. Legend has it that the devil fell in love with the lady of the nearby Montaigu castle. The lady's husband having left for the crusades in the Holy Land, the devil took advantage of the absence of the master of the place to accost the lady of the castle. This act worked since the lady fell under the demon's spell, and gave in. However, the husband returned opportunely, immediately the devil fled and jumped out the window. In hurrying, the devil lost his clog.

A very curious place: a football field lost in the middle of nowhere. Ideal for quiet camping with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains (or for playing football ... hehe)

The very charming covered wash house of Citers turns out to be ideal for cooling off, resting in the shade, bivouacking or even protecting yourself from the rain.

Perfect made bike path on old railway line. Off the road, great asphalt, always in the countryside. Predicate standard LSE highly recommended!
