Welcome to the hiking route along Chemin Source Manouilh! This challenging 9.765-kilometer trail offers stunning views and an elevation gain of 1159 meters, making it perfect for experienced hikers looking for a good workout.
Starting at the trailhead, you'll find convenient parking facilities nearby. As you begin your journey, make sure to stop by the Kiosque shelter about 1.51 kilometers into the hike. This is a great spot to take a short break and enjoy the surroundings.
Continuing on, you'll come across the Belvédère de Terre Plate viewpoint, providing panoramic views of the area around the same location as the Kiosque shelter. Information points like Croisée Bé Mahot and Terrre Plate can also be found along the trail, offering interesting insights into the local history and geography.
About midway through the hike, at 4.88 kilometers from the start, you'll encounter the wayside cross and viewpoints at Cap Anglais. These are perfect spots to rest, take in the scenery, and learn more about the area's heritage from the nearby information points.
For those interested in exploring further, a cave entrance to Caverne Mussard is located a bit off the trail at the same location as Cap Anglais. However, keep in mind that this diversion adds extra distance to the hike.
As you tackle the challenging terrain and steep elevation gain, be sure to bring plenty of water, wear appropriate hiking gear, and check the weather forecast before heading out. With a duration of approximately 5 hours and 9 minutes, this difficult route promises a rewarding adventure for those up for the challenge.
So lace up your boots, pack your essentials, and get ready to conquer the Chemin Source Manouilh hiking trail!
