Discover during your journey, Vallin's forest, a mystical place, with its marshes, its pond and its two streams : limestone for one and ferruginous for the other. This little walk in the forest will be relaxing and full of surprises.
From the car park in the Vallin forest, look for the hiking information board showing the entire loop then follow the yellow signs and the signs below: Saint-Joseph > La Thébaïde by the pond > Etang de Vallin > La Thébaïde > Saint-Joseph > Back to the car park
Take the long path leading to the ‘Saint-Joseph’ sign.
Then take a smaller path on the right towards ‘La Thébaïde par la mare’.
Look out for the rich flora and fauna of these small wetlands (newts, yellow-bellied carp...).
The walk continues along a path leading to the Vallin pond.
The forest features a variety of tree species, including beech, chestnut and lime.
Return along the main path to the ‘Saint-Joseph’ signpost and then to the car park at the entrance of the Vallin forest.
