Chalet de l'Empereur

Highlight • Forest

A nice little wooden chalet. A table is inside if you need shelter to eat and if it's raining. The place has been renovated by student studying wood-working.
It is a nice and inspiring place (you can't set a tent there though, inhabited houses are right next to it).

Since 2016, this former abandoned priory has welcomed monks within its walls. Indeed, a group of artists created a fresco there to bring the place back to life.
