Nice but challenging via. Officially difficult or very difficult, but certainly not "facile", as The French categorise it. Optional tyrolienne, everything well signposted. Lots of bridges, so to avoid with vertigo.

One of the nicest VF I know. Granite - not slippery. But old climbing shoes might help. Only 1000m altitude. Possible in autumn/spring. Dries off easily, so one day after a rain it’s possible.
