Traveler reviews
Tereza Krausova
★★★★★2 years agoEven despite some security concerns I heard about that place, it is very nice and pictoresque. The main trail can get really muddy which is something to consider. I barely met any other people there, which makes sense considering how far from regular transport stations that is.

★★★★★10 months agoWonderful, one of the green lungs of Bordeaux. To breathe and gain height above Bordeaux from the north-south angle view..
