On the way you will cross the forest of the Lucerne d'Outremer until you reach its abbey. Founded in 1143, it was occupied by regular canons of the Premonstratensian order. Nestling in the hollow of the Thar valley, this Romanesque complex is in the Cistercian spirit with its sobriety and rigour. The itinerary joins the coast via Carolles and the cliffs of Champeaux from where you will enjoy magnificent views of the Wonder of the West.
