Departure from Hotonnes (Ain)
This is a very beautiful hike, featuring landscapes of pastures and beech and fir forests, along easy paths.
Created in partnership with the Museum of Resistance and Deportation in Nantua, it passes by five farms where the maquis settled in 1943-1944, on the Retord plateau between the village of Hotonnes and the Plans d'Hotonnes resort. Five panels describe the history of this maquis.
