A lovely little rest stop with a great history. An information leaflet tells you more about the historical significance of this trail, while the refuge simply offers a lovely opportunity to take a break. For nature-loving bikepackers, it is a great place to sleep.

The French Cross should have its name from the 7-year war. Here is a guy who murdered his officer and buried him at this point.
