A stroll through the heart of a 19th-century park, amidst unspoilt nature, a waterfall, majestic trees and spa heritage.

Starting from the Fayet spa park, this walk takes you on a journey of discovery through a remarkable natural and architectural heritage. After crossing the park and reaching the spa park footbridge, the Sentier des Poules trail gradually leads you up towards the heights of Saint-Gervais. The route then passes by the Saint-Gervais viaduct, before beginning the descent along the Chemin de Fontaine Froide to return to the cool, peaceful surroundings of the thermal park. A varied circular walk combining wooded paths, engineering structures and local heritage.
