The dragons of the forest of Chaux are made of branches and perpetuate, in a way, the ancestral know-how around the wood which made the reputation of the hamlet 14.

This hamlet is now an eco-museum which presents the trades once practiced in the forest of Chaux.

How was charcoal made? Is it really the man who masters the fire? You may have the answers if you come across these mythical creatures in the lime forest.

Hiking

It's a lovely walk, with a beautiful, varied forest. Because of the heat (35°C), we limited ourselves to the section through the woods. Because it was very dry, that was also possible. Even the half-circle walk was worth it.
