The fox’s cave

Embed this item to access it offline

The shortest, the most playful but also the most difficult path in terms of making progress because it crosses a large number of rocks. Please note that this walk is impossible in times of rain since the rocks become far too slippery.

This short walk of under 2 km has all the fun kids could ask for: open spaces, rocky blocks for playing hide-and-seek and a proper small cave to explore like adventurers! Adults will enjoy themselves too with extraordinary views of the Chassezac, an exceptional rocky landscape at the heart of the Bois de Païolive, and (last but not least) shade !

Recommandations

This walk, while in the “easy” category, is rocky and steep in parts and slippery when wet. You must have appropriate footwear.

Make sure your equipment is appropriate for the day’s weather conditions. Remember that the weather changes quickly in the mountains. Take enough water, wear sturdy shoes and put on a hat. Please close any gates and barriers behind you.

You must stay on the waymarked paths to preserve this fragile environment, which is a protected site of the European network Natura 2000 and a sensitive natural space.
