Route No. 20: In the Footsteps of the Sarpes-Bruges

Itinerary details

Type d’itinéraire : Loop

Pleasant walk along the Roubreau valley.

Embark on a walk along the picturesque Roubreau valley, following in the footsteps of the Sarpes-Bruges. But did you know that this evocative name hides a fascinating past? Indeed, Sarpes Bruges takes its name from a rich local history: The term "sarpe," meaning "to cut," and "Bruges" reminds us of the heather that grew abundantly in the region. In the past, this heather was precious, used to make hoops where silkworms would attach themselves.
