The Frochet caves are a cavity where a small lake has formed. Be sure to bring a headlamp to enjoy them. This hike is quick, the lower part of the route is easy, but the end of the route is quite steep on a narrow path.

A real thrill as you walk along the Combe Laval road, with a drop of over 600 metres below. The morning sun is perfect for admiring the cliffs. A breath of fresh air in the undergrowth. If you look carefully and keep quiet, you might spot some ungulates on the Serre de Pélandré or in the undergrowth?
