If you are looking for a challenging and rewarding run, you can try the troglodyte trail in Orival, Normandy. This trail will take you through breathtaking landscapes, including the cliffs of the Seine, the ruins of an ancient castle and the fascinating troglodyte caves. These caves were inhabited by textile workers in the 17th century, and you can still see traces of their lives carved into the rock.
