From the village square, follow Charles Feige Street to Place de la Résistance. Take the path facing the underground parking of the Casino, the climb is steep up to the Croix St Michel.
Above, on a small esplanade, Notre Dame de Nazareth and Notre Dame des
Virtues characterized by a Byzantine dome; at the South East corner the oratory of Adieux.
To reach the Creux St Jean, take the small grassy road to the right of the restaurant Le Refuge du Calvaire. After a short descent, the statue of Saint John the Baptist appears at the edge of the path, watching over passers-by.
Follow this path in laces to arrive in a magical place: waterfall, small stone bridge, oratory dedicated to Saint-Jean; haven of freshness and calm where the faithful came to relax.
Continue the trail to the small paved road the Chemin du Maz.
You can either go up to the left for about 25 min to discover the waterfall of Belle au Bois (delicate path).
Or go down to the right directly in the center of the village.
At the level of the old bridge near the Bar St Paul, go up a few tens of meters on the left. On the right you will see the fountain between the Church and the site of the old cemetery, the Presbytery and the village square.
