  • This gentle, family-friendly hike offers the chance to discover the Sainte-Rose chapel and its history, then continue on to the ruins of the Château de l'Épine, where a thorn from Christ’s crown is said to have been placed by one of the Lords of Montbel.

  • Enjoy this family hike that takes you to the heights of Nances. Discover the church of this small village, dating back to 1878, before traveling through time to reach the Sainte Rose Chapel, built in the 17th century. Erected on the edge of an old road leading to the Col de l’Épine and near a water source, this chapel was a place of procession during drought periods.
    Along the way, feel free to take a short detour to the Villas Dorias and their nice viewpoint.
