Chambre du Loup and Falaise de Lyris in Haut-du-Tôt

de fr

Set off to explore a small cavity in the rock, called the Chambre du Loup (Wolf's Chamber), at the foot of the small Lyris cliff, the Pyramid, and various other features on this site, which was used for the construction of the church and presbytery of the hamlet of Haut-du-Tôt. All this can be explored via a somewhat mystical path through a magnificent coniferous forest with moss-covered rocks.

Description of the walk

To get to the starting point, go to Place du Souvenir Français, at the junction of Route de l'Amelon and Route du Haut-du-Tôt, near the hamlet of the same name. Take the small Route de la Sotière and follow it to a small car park on the right.

(2) Turn right and continue at the foot of the cliff.

(3) Pass in front of the small cavity of the Chambre du Loup and continue on the path that goes around the cliff.

(4) Notice the Pyramid on your left, a rock shaped like a pyramid, then continue until you reach the fork you passed earlier.

(2) Turn right and, taking the same path you came on, return to Route de la Sotière and the car park (S/E).
