Windy on top

New year’s evening was wonderful, and crept on well into the morning, as our English friends began their countdown an hour after us. So it was a very slow start to New Year’s Day, in fact we only just made it up in time to say good morning to each other. We were definitely all in need for a bit of fresh air, so I suggested we head up to ‘plateau de blu’ and make a circular walk from there. The ‘Le tour de Noë les Mallets’ is about 6.5 km, and takes an hour and forty minutes, ideal for us. It takes in a hill or two to help get the blood pumping.

Such a pretty area, with amazing views. It was a little bit windy on the top of plateau de blu, but as we dropped down through the forest and into the village, it became more sheltered.

The path then led us back up the other side of the village, and around the top, back to where we’d parked the car. The sun was beginning to set, but we had time to enjoy a coffee in the open air, and to soak up the view before heading home.

We have detailed the route on our hiking page, where you can find a pdf map.
