Thanks to the paths and trails that follow the course of the Sarenne, it is possible to hike as close as possible to the river bed. To add height to your hike and see the gorges from above, you can make a loop by climbing to the Signal de l'Homme.

Hiking

A beautiful gorge where it stays relatively cool on hot days. The GR54 trails through the gorge are easily accessible. The water is easily accessible, although swimming is not recommended due to a dam upstream that opens periodically.
