There are 4 circular walks at the foot of the Mont du Chat. The Boucle de la Manche is an alternative route on the Boucle des Pins. From the Pierre des Borrels, you will continue via the hamlet of Les Vincents until you get to the village of Le Petit Creux.

In the heart of a lively, open agricultural landscape, you can discover pretty hamlets, a varied country atmosphere and, on the higher ground, a glimpse of the forest. For the more experienced, it's possible to "couple" 2 or 3 loops as you wish. The Manche loop is dotted with artistic sculptures made from recycled materials or natural objects found along the way. Hiking highlights: - The Mont du Chat lookout (1500m) - The de Chevelu leisure park - The Maison de la Dent du Chat in Yenne Warning: crossings and sections of departmental roads. Please be careful!
