Tips

Vincent Reboul

Hiking

This wood is called the Defends because it once belonged to the lords of Sault, and it was forbidden to go hunting, pick mushrooms or cut wood without authorization. This wood now belongs to the municipality and has become public. Its particularity is to have this racecourse which only serves one day a year in August.
