The trail climbs slightly. You will follow the old path of two thousand years old who once led the first inhabitants to their rock shelters. You will see natural sculptures in the rock of sandstone.

After half an hour walk you will discover the rock shelter of the "Rubin" dating from about 4 centuries BC

Then after half an hour of extra walking, you will arrive in the beautiful chaos of the "King's Chamber", with its high walls of a hundred meters, his holly, its chestnut trees, caves. It once served as a refuge in case of enemy attacks...

Magnificent views between Vaïre Valley and Coulomp. beautiful and disturbing view of the nature of the sculpture "Guardian".
