This beautiful hut in the photo is not at the indicated spot. To reach the indicated spot, you have to travel along a path much used by motorcyclists, but which is a real complication for cycling, even more so for cycle touring with panniers. It would be convenient, as there are over 200 huts cataloged in the area, that this spot was adequately signposted.
