Chapelle Notre-Dame du Tertre (Châtelaudren) walks

The River Leff, which rises north of Quintin, flows away from the town and heads northwards. Châtelaudren is the first village it flows through. It is inextricably linked to the history of this ancient town: tragedies caused by devastating floods in times gone by, a source of energy for the paper mills of *Le Petit Écho de la Mode* in more modern times, and recreational activities on and around the reservoir today. This route invites you to discover these different aspects: it takes you round the reservoir, along the river and to its waterfall. At the end of the route, it winds through the old streets lined with stone buildings in this small village, which has been designated a ‘Petite Cité de Caractère’.
