The Cuesta Route

The Cuesta Route partly crosses landscapes overlooked by the first Lorraine ridge, known as the Sinemurian cuesta.

The landscape in the Attert valley is characterised by meadows and groves interlaced with small streams. These varied natural environments provide an ideal habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna. Each village has retained its authenticity and its harmony. Many old residences and agricultural buildings dating from the 18th and 19th centuries can still be admired here. The paths are dotted with crosses and calvaries in local stone. The fountains recall the many springs that run through the valley and the restored washhouses with their big stone tubs bear witness to village life in days gone by.
