On foot Sur les traces des Huguenots

Opening

All year round.

Présentation

A gentle out-and-back walk that takes you in the footsteps of the Huguenots in the heart of the Saoû forest. The walk is fully accessible to all-terrain baby carriages.

You'll walk along the majestic avenue of Great Cedars planted in the 20th century to the Auberge des Dauphins, a remarkable building constructed in the 1930s by Maurice Burrus, a wealthy Alsatian industrialist and lover of the Saoû forest. Its architecture was inspired by the Petit Trianon in Versailles. The building is soon to be restored and turned into a site house (reception, flora and fauna museum area, tea room). Head for the Grande Combe, a wide, shady path on a gentle slope. At the Pins Douglas post, the path narrows along the old Vèbre riverbed and the vegetation becomes denser. Return to the parking lot along the same path.
