It's been a long time since we've been here and since then they've arranged the whole route to cross the wet parts, magnificent work... And a great ride.

I found this illustrious trail near my campsite. There were festivities that weekend, which made it incredibly crowded. Therefore, there are fewer photos of this walk. Be careful, there are a lot of ticks here. This trail is also recommended on hot days 😊 There's plenty of shade at the Ponte des Sécrets.
