Here you follow a superb trail that crosses the Chaumont woods. A section totally immersed in nature, you will hear nothing but the trees and birds.

This Himalayan-style Buddhist temple is splendid. It was founded by a Tibetan lama in 1974 and worship is still held there. The first floor gallery can be explored on a self-guided or guided tour, to be done without doubt.
