About
At the foot of the Mont du Chat, St Paul offers 4 circular walks including one gentler alternative. The Boucle des Balcons de St Paul offers a panoramic view over the town of St Paul.
In the heart of a lively, open agricultural landscape, you can discover pretty hamlets, a varied country atmosphere and, on the higher ground, a glimpse of the forest. For the more experienced, it's possible to "couple" 2 or 3 loops as you wish.
