🔧 Repairs

In case of breakdown

Always carry a spare inner tube, repair kit and pump. The forest is vast and areas without mobile coverage exist.

💧 Water

Water points

The village of Nogent has several water points. In the forest, bring enough water, especially in summer.

🚗 Parking

Starting by car

Several forest car parks allow you to start a circuit directly in the heart of the forest, notably at the Grand Étang crossroads.
