The Fiery Fountain Trail
If the destination is indeed a hot spot, the immediate proximity of the brook that accompanies us all along the descent in the forest justifies its freshness and makes it a pleasant and amusing family stroll.

From the explanation panel of the Fontaine ardente (alt. 700 m), take the direction of this one, on the left of the meadow. The outward journey is downhill and does not present any difficulty of route. There is only one path. Nevertheless, you follow some yellow and green markings. On your way, you pass two chicanes that prevent pets from wandering around and, after a flight of steps, you arrive at the Fountain of Fire. The return journey is the same as the descent. Remember to bring a lighter and a piece of paper in case the fountain is extinguished. It is preferable in this case to let an adult light the flame.
Points of interest:
The burning fountain, a resurgence from which emanates flammable gases.
