The shortest circuit in distance and the most flexible: a half day if you stop at Saint-François, or a full day with lunch and the return via Le Moule. The schedule below describes the full day; for the half day, you head straight back from Saint-François at about 12.30 pm.

This schedule is a starting point. Stops and times are confirmed with you when you book.
