Bandits' Cave Chalet

Highlight • Restaurant

Comfortable forest path to relax in great greenery. After climbing between the rocks on the previous sections of the route, it is quite pleasant to relax and “run out”.

Bandits' Cave

Highlight • Cave

La Caverne des Brigands was dug at Denecourt's request in 1844, in order to attract tourists! He then invents a story of brigands from scratch to arouse the curiosity of visitors.

Cavalière of the Brigands

Highlight • Other

Very exciting rock formations at the Plières. Attention, sometimes very narrow passages (see picture 1) or little space for the feet (see picture 3). Regarding the latter information: absolutely wear decent shoes (have seen sandals).

Here is a very nice passage of the Denecourt-Colinet trail n ° 6, which overhangs the forest and makes us walk on huge rocks.
