    Tips and suggestions

    Public toilets at the entrance to the municipal campsite. A drinking water point in the hamlet of Charabotte to fill your water bottle. It is advisable to return by crossing the bridge halfway after the hamlet of Charabotte to avoid walking close to the busy road.
    The path from the old mill to the foot of the waterfall and back is for regular walkers with good shoes. Not recommended for young children or people with walking difficulties.
    Please note Caution: risk of rockfall below the cliff. The fields around the lake are not always pruned, so take care not to stray from the route. Check children, animals and adults for ticks.

    La vue sur l'Albarine depuis le sentier est superbe lorsqu'il y a de l'eau comme aujourd'hui. Itinéraire sans difficulté quasiment sur du plat. Attention la passerelle de l'étang de pêche est glissante après la pluie.
