The Chapelle du Bief d'Etoz, small, charming, and somewhat enchanted. A hint of the past wafts through the trees here. The chapel was built in 1692 – because a man fell from his horse and made a promise. I understand him. Anyone who falls here also promises all sorts of things – especially to choose flatter paths next time. The climb up to Le Noirmont is still quite demanding 😅

A beautiful green paradise between the highway and the city. The birdsong even drowns out the highway noise.
