サン・ヒラリオンのおすすめランニングルート

The grounds are lovely with lots of bars and restaurants near by

more road and fields than forest areas but still nice

Pedestrian crossing to access the other side of the forest. The path to get there is technical. A mountain bike crossing is possible, but very technical.

Very bucolic place!

Pretty church which is reached by a narrow staircase which climbs the hillside, passing next to a moving old cemetery (moss-covered tombs on a steep slope). On the way back to the centre of Emancé, don't miss the pretty town hall in pink pebbles, and the beautiful Michelin marker at the crossroads.

The church in Epernon was dedicated to Saint Peter (SAINT-PIERRE). Simon, nicknamed Peter (rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Genesareth when he – together with his brother Andrew – was called by Jesus Christ to be the "fisher of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes – currently Francis – are his successors. On statues and paintings Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand, this attribute refers to the Bible passage in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (chapter 16, verse 19). Peter is also known along with Paul as the "Princes of the Apostles", their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th.
