You will enter by walking own a flight of stairs where you have can look at the backside of the houses that used to be on the main street. The waterfall, the river, the threes and birdsong will give you the feeling of being out in the forest even if you are surrounded by houses and apartments. Choose you path and follow the river down towards Cessy.  You will find several benches and there are many picnic  tables available.

When you have crossed Chemin de la Poudriere you will find a nice and new playground and also one of the best skateparks in the area. Here you will also find the restaurant Mamma Mia that serves Italian food as well as ice-creams and refreshments.

In this part of the park you can also find a fitness trail.

The park ends when you come to Route the Mury and you have to turn around and walk back with the beautiful view on the Jura mountains ahead of you.

If you visit in the spring the you will be sure to smell the wild garlic!

Gex is the administrative center in the Pays the Gex and offers a variety of shops and restaurants and coffee places. If you have time, I recommend a walk around the streets in the town center.

Happy walking!
