La Genièvre and Le Tremblot from Chevillon

A short walk along the Ruisseau de Chevillon, a small Category1 stream for anglers, then through the forest on the slopes of Chevillon. Easy to follow, it becomes a bit of a physical challenge when you leave the valley and start the climb. Some lovely views lie ahead.
