Restored forest house of a former duchess, which now functions as a free, unmanaged museum. Not only nice to see and to stop, but also a welcome stop for walkers …

Hiking

For the use of the Esteréls massif, especially for the exploitation of the cork oak, forest houses were built in the 19th century to accommodate the staff. The Duchess's forest house has been renovated for several years and is a very nice place for a break or a picnic. The name is associated with the laying of the foundation stone at the request of Napoleon III. connected by the Duchess of Vallombrosa (see also esterel-pour-tous.fr)
