Description of the walk

(S/E) Park at the foot of the cape and take the path on the right that leads to the houses and continues along the cliff side. After the house with the weir and the small bridge over the stream, continue straight on towards Cap Miquelon (1), leaving the path on your left. You may see white-tailed deer and red foxes.

When you reach the beautiful Coromandière valley, continue straight ahead towards Cap Miquelon, leaving the path on your left. You may see hares. Continue on the right. There is a splendid view at Cap Miquelon.

(2) Continue around the cape. You will return to the Coromandière Valley.

(3) Shortly afterwards, take the path on the left with the wooden footbridge, which continues with a staircase leading to the reservoir, which you go around on the left.

(4) Do not take the path that leads to the car park signposted "retour village" (back to the village), but take the path signposted "Cap Miquelon" to rejoin the path taken on the way out (1). Then continue to the right to return to the starting point (S/E).
