Sentier de l'étrange Ellezelles
Very strange things are happening in this village in the beautiful Pays des Collines. The unusual appears at every street corner, in the groves or even the edge of a wood inviting the walker to a pleasant walk of 5,700 km.
The idea of a walk in the middle of nature, embellished with sculptures, bas-reliefs representing witches elves… or other devilry germinated in the 80s in the head of Watkyne, this initiator of folk-art, sabbaths and other playful festivities local.
The omnipresent nature is the other attraction of the region. This is still particularly well preserved to the point that the creation of a natural park was completed in 1995. Indeed, it is still possible to admire the green and undulating landscapes where many hamlets with red roofs are nestled. which enliven the landscape and contrast with the green of nature.
During the route, the walker will also encounter many chapels, attesting to a strong religious belief in the 19th century. But has she really disappeared?
