Malpertus Trail

A superb trail to discover a lost hamlet... Here, the ruins still speak! The view over the beautiful Dourbie valley is breathtaking. Listen and observe! Nature around you tells its story!

This little path, after a steep climb, leads us to a splendid and moving site: the ruined hamlet of Malpertus, with its air of a lost paradise and a beautiful view over the Dourbie valley. On the return journey, we follow the river, observing its inhabitants. Perhaps you'll spot the common frog and the black alder?
