Hut made from fir and beech branches on the Allée des Géants with the trunk of a very old beech tree as support. Does this hut belong to a Sylvain? You know, those legendary little beings who guard the forest? Also known as "the witches' path", this alley is made up of old, twisted beech trees over four centuries old. These trees have undergone pleaching, which in the Montagne Bourbonnaise is a traditional technique that consists of braiding the branches of trees together and letting them grow in a chosen direction (for example: vertically, horizontally or inclined). In this way, it was possible to delimit an alley, a path or even a piece of land... and in some cases, even to obtain a defensive role. These alleys had another advantage: they protected travellers from the sun in summer and from snowdrifts in winter. Saint-Nicolas-des-Biefs, Allier, France

The Alley of the Giants or Alley of the Twisted Beech Trees is about 220 metres long. Halfway along, a natural bench is offered to us on a huge branch that links two old beeches together. Also known as the "witches' path", this path is made up of old beech trees that are over four centuries old. These trees have undergone pleaching, which in the Montagne Bourbonnaise is a traditional technique that consists of braiding the branches of trees together and letting them grow in a chosen direction (e.g. vertically, horizontally or inclined). In this way, it was possible to delimit an alley, a path or even a piece of land... and in some cases, even to obtain a defensive role.

These alleys had another advantage, they protected travellers from the sun in summer and from snowdrifts in winter. This relic of an old beech tree in the shape of a dreamlike animal is part of a very special bestiary that brings a mysterious, magical and fairy-like aspect to this fabulous place. Stones, mosses, twisted trees of more than four centuries old combined with the sun rays bring to light imaginary creatures. Saint-Nicolas-des-Biefs, Allier, France
