    Hiking

    Very pretty pond in the middle of an old bauxite quarry. Be careful ⚠️! The edges are absolutely not secure and a misstep would lead to a surely fatal fall given the height and verticality. Furthermore, it is forbidden to take the path by car, so you must continue on the road and leave it 5 minutes away in a parking lot. The round trip can be made in 40 minutes, excluding time on site.
