Hike to Montagne des Frêtes & Champ Laitier

Hike to Circuit Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Thônes)
In the fall of 2020, right after walking Circuit du Calvaire in Thônes, I went on another loop called Circuit Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Like the loop with a similar name in Chambéry (Promenade de Jean-Jacques Rousseau), it is named after Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who stayed in the area for a day. The loop passes by Manoir de la Tour, the location of a story, “L’Idylle des Cerises”, recounted in his book “Les Confessions”.
