Duration of the route (in hours): 3 Tips:

This route crosses pastures with livestock. Also for the respect of the owners and operators who authorize you to pass, to avoid crushing the hay, for the tranquility of livestock and wildlife, you are invited to stay on the marked trails. Use the passages provided to cross the fences and make sure to close the barriers.

Please keep your dog on a leash if you have one.

In the bog and surrounding meadows the wildflowers are beautiful, they can be rare and protected and often fade quickly. Don't pick them! They will delight future hikers.

In the event of forestry work (felling, skidding, etc.), for your safety, know how to give up and turn around.

On the developed part of the peat bog (platform), between THE BOG et Le Pontet, for the well-being of all and respect for this particular environment, a few additional rules:

  • Don't leave the deck
  • Cycling is not permitted
