SAINT MORILLON

This first 6,5 km local hiking loop, inaugurated on May 14, 2017 during the town's spring festival, mainly takes rural paths (CR).
It allows the walker to rise about forty meters and cross various landscapes. At the highest points it will be in what was once an area of ​​maintained moorland for sheep. At the lowest points, he will feel the freshness of the Gât-mort valley and the originality of its habitats. As an informed walker, he will perceive and note the environmental changes along the ascent as well as the descent, before returning to his starting point: the place of the Church in the center of the village of Saint-Morillon.
