The path continues along a wide but vertiginous ledge before reaching the wooded canopy. After the Abri du Plateau, make the short return journey to the viewpoint. Cross the Portettes arch and descend into the chestnut grove. At the Espaluns belvedere, make the short round trip to the left to discover a magnificent rock shelter. The descent is punctuated by several eyebrows before joining the paved path leading to the Vers la Ville chapel.
