Traveler reviews
Jerome G
★★★★★5 years agoNice spot. Can be hit or cold depending the season. Though, you really can enjoy the little wind Here and find rest under a tree. Important tip: there is a water fountain and this easy to find , just before walking up the signal bernez Hill. You can access here by car, you can park but also - I encourage that - you can ride up the hill with a bike and this is a very calm journey a bit sweating and tiring maybe but deeply enjoyable and ... you have a reward at the tip: the water fountain !
