It then continues to the Roche de l'Eau balcony and the charming hamlet of La Montagne. It then returns to the Jaugey slope to climb up to its balcony before reaching La Table du Druide.

The route winds its way through hills and valleys, linking two buildings that were the hub of village life until the early20th century.
