Hiking round trip around Vincendières by Esteban

Magnifique randonnée assez physique, paysages variés avec de nombreuses cascades et passage à côté d'un refuge avec possibilité d'y faire une pause boisson/repas. Attention, au point le plus éloigné du départ, au niveau d'un pont en bois qui traverse la rivière, présence de plusieurs patous et gros chiens de troupeau en liberté.
