Away from the main roads, this walk will plunge the hiker at the heart of a rich rural territory with memories and full of architectural surprises sometimes forgotten. From hamlets to farms, discover a culture and heritage.

Both species have been protected under the European Union’s Birds Directive since 1979....Away from the main roads, this walk will plunge the hiker at the heart of a rich rural territory with memories and full of architectural surprises sometimes forgotten.
