Recommandations
This so-called “easy” circuit is nevertheless stony, and sometimes steep and slippery after rain. You’ll need a good pair of walking shoes.
Please stay on the marked paths to protect this fragile environment that’s been classified as an ecological site by the European network Natura 2000, and a Sensitive Natural Area.
