fun to do with the family

A pleasant hike in a karst landscape (for the initiated) but also imbued with a certain magic. The loop from the center of the village took us about two with a picnic among the rocks, in a place once planted with cherry trees and other fruit trees. Note the presence of an original sundial... in perfect working order! The sinkhole, at the beginning of the trail, is hardly visible because it is overgrown with vegetation. But the ruins of the castle for their part allow for beautiful photos. The trail is quite shaded regardless of the season, we did it in 28 degrees without any discomfort (but we are from the South!). However, be sure to wear proper footwear because the route is very stony!

Here you can admire all kinds of bamboo, but also Japanese maples, camellias, ginkgo biloba and centuries-old giant sequoias, flowers, etc.

Avoid doing the sea of rocks the day after rain, it is dangerously slippery and spoils a lot of the fun.

Be careful of particularly slippery surroundings on rainy days or after rain.

A 40m deep and 90m circumference sinkhole is an attraction in the Sauve area, for tourists and also for potholers. I was able to go down there several times. Be careful, there is no barrier! Watch where you put your feet, children and animals! At the bottom is a cave that is not very big, with two parts. First lower part, which overlooks a well, then where you have to crawl quite a bit to end up on "nothing". On the other side, you fall quite quickly above a LAKE, with a height of about 15m. The water from this LAKE flows into the Sauve resurgence, located at the bottom of the village, after the stone bridge, towards the children's park. This one spits with all its power during the rains.

The sea of rocks is located on the heights of the village of Sauve. Although short, the well-marked path offers a beautiful view. The path is uneven, sometimes with high steps, but is quite easy to do on foot, and seems to be intended for everyone, with a little care. A sundial is located at the end of the crossing (or at the beginning depending on where you are coming from). Not far from there, 10/15 minutes on foot, is the Grand Aven de Sauve, which I was able to descend a few years ago.

Very nice and accessible short walk with rather good shoes. 1 hour approx.
