The Wolf Pit

A short walk starting from the church in Fontaine-lès-Boulans, heading towards the plateau in the commune of Prédefin.
The route mainly follows a path which can be muddy when it rains. In fine weather, you’ll be treated to some truly beautiful views and panoramic scenery. On the way back, you’ll pass an old German army barracks.

It’s not something we usually do, but this time we really enjoyed it. The Bouli 62 route – even the tarmac section, which, thankfully, wasn’t very busy. We’re going to do the next one: ‘Le Bois d’Épenin from Bajus’. I can’t wait to see what happens next...
