Hiking

La Trenche des Portes is an ancient fortified site dating from the Neolithic period, then occupied by the Celts and the Romans. You will be able to discover the remains of the earthen rampart and the ditch which surround a vast area of more than 100 hectares, as well as the archaeological discoveries of various dwellings and activities. The hike, approximately 8 km long, begins in the village of Saint-Léger. You can enjoy the view of the Rouge Eau valley and the Eperons Barrés, two other remarkable sites in the region.
