If you have a dog, hold it on a leash.Use the passageways to cross the fences, close the gates and barriers out of respect for pastoral and agricultural activities. Stay on the marked paths is also respect private property.Be careful, the route is mainly in the mountain pastures, the trail is sometimes not very marked and may be confused with the traces left by the herds.
Les chiens de protection des troupeaux
