The trails of the densed forest are marked by a horseshoe but aren't numbered. A map is required because in some intersections, you may meet other trails and take another loop. 

Caution: the level of SAUVAGET FORD varies according to the season, activity of the dam and in times of heavy rain. Si le gué n’est pas accessible, faire l’aller retour par Pissotte, ne pas passer par l’Orbrie. La passerelle du gué Sauvaget est réservée aux piétons et interdite aux chevaux. 

Beware of the narrow passage on the Pissotte side at the exit or entrance of the ford (see picture).

This trail is very steep (see map).

Caution : the slope is quite steep and the rocks are slippery in the Sauvaget loop.

Please remember:

- You are not the only ones to use the trails that you are going to take.

- To stay on the marked paths.
