Do it without moderation.

The immense Bois Noirs forest offers several cycling and hiking trails for nature lovers.

As you walk along the track that runs through the forest towards the Saint-Vincent rock, the trees part for a moment to reveal the wind turbines.

Saint-Vincent Rock is an imposing volcanic rock that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forests and valleys. It is a natural wonder that dates back millions of years, when lava erupted from a fissure. Later, the sea receded, and tectonic movement lifted the lava, creating the impressive rock that stands today. You can explore the ruins of an ancient castle that once crowned the rock and admire a statue of the Virgin and Child, called "Our Lady of Up There," installed in 2012.

What the runner walking quickly past encounters off the path are the modern heirs of the historic windmills, because centuries ago our ancestors were clever enough to harness the power of the elements for their own purposes. They used the wind captured in the blades to drive the heavy millstones, so that grain could be ground into flour, for example. While in the past, attention was paid to the architecture of each individual mill, this modern and unaesthetic variant - which is used to generate electricity - has simply been built en masse in the landscape. These wind farms, which are designed for efficiency, are not without controversy, because on the one hand, no consideration is given to the landscape when they are built, and above all, the slender blades become a death trap for birds.

At the crest of Chemin de la Ligue, the tops of the trees are not the only ones nourished by the wind. Here, you walk at the foot of the wind turbines. Immense, they impress as much by their size as by the monotonous sound they emit.

The Rocher Saint-Vincent is an imposing volcanic rock that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding forests and valleys. The Rocher Saint-Vincent is a natural curiosity that dates back millions of years, when lava gushed out of a crack and formed a green horn. Later, the sea receded and a tectonic movement lifted the horn, creating the impressive rock that stands today. You can explore the ruins of an ancient castle that crowned the rock, and admire a statue of the Virgin and Child, called "Notre-Dame de là-haut", which was installed in 2012.
