One of the special stops here is the Monkey Fingers rock formations, also known as Les Doigts du Singe a unique group of rocks shaped like giant fingers, carved naturally by wind and time. It’s a beautiful place for photos and a short, gentle walk.

We take our time, stopping for photos and moments to enjoy the scenery. And if you wish, you can take a quiet stroll to feel the fresh air of the valley.
