Many marked hiking trails lead through the forest and you'll enjoy discovering the fauna and flora of the marvelous mountain of Lure. It is possible to halt in jas, which were once used by shepherds. Since 1997, these have been fully restored jas by elected officials and volunteers from the village.
You will enjoy discovering the thousand and one other things: a chapel, a laundry, a beautifully restored fountain, and many other hidden treasures.
