Colossus with feet of clay in the Orient Forest
The Colossus with Feet of Clay is a short hiking trail of about 7 km. It invites hikers to discover the remarkable character of this forest area of the Orient Forest, and also addresses more serious issues such as climate change and the impact of humans on the natural environment.
The originality of the Colosse aux pieds d'argile trail lies in its seven stations, each featuring impressive works of art.

A little further on, ceramic sculptures evoke the cultural heritage of the site and spark the imagination with traces of human history.
