Hiking

Only the trench and the earth foundation of the Chataque are preserved here. Still impressive, considering the means by which everything was built.

Hiking

Information panel about the wooden guardhouses (=chartaques), which were located along the Epping Lines and manned by 10 to 30 men for defense. At this point, only the foundation and the ditch are clearly visible; replicas of the wooden towers also exist in other locations.
