    Planbois is a hilly forest, dotted with wet meadows, it spreads out at the foot of the pre-Alpine massif of Mont d'Hermone. Its ecological wealth is remarkable. There are more than 2000 species of mushrooms, the very rare Gladiolus marsh and numerous orchids. The fauna is also rich, with the reintroduced European beaver, the yellow-bellied toad, newts and salamanders.

    Before crossing it, you will have climbed up to the foot of the massif, by the RD26, to Armoy, to then start a long descent towards this famous forest. You will probably only see its conifers, oaks and aspens, but you will have in mind all that is hidden in it! At the exit of the forest, in Jouvernex, you will be on the Circuit du Bas Chablais n°31 which will bring you back to Thonon via Anthy and the beach of Corzent.
