You don't have to travel to faraway lands to meet legends. Just visit the charming village of Albiez-le-Jeune.

Departing from the leisure area of an authentic mountain hamlet, the Circuit des Légendes will offer children and parents alike a legendary experience.

The many shaded areas, especially the forest passages, are sure to be appreciated on sunny days.
In a natural environment where calm and serenity are the watchwords, it's not unusual to catch a glimpse of our animal friends.

On the outskirts of the village, you may even come across a herd of goats. If Nicolas, their breeder, is around, he'll be delighted to introduce you to them.

Halfway through this magical excursion, you'll come across the Monk of Champlan. From there, you'll enjoy a magnificent view of the surrounding peaks. You'll be able to contemplate the mythical Aiguilles d'Arves and Mont Emy.

And if you're feeling hungry, tables and benches are available along the way for a family picnic.

At the end of your itinerary, don't hesitate to take a refreshing dip at the lake.
You've earned it!
