Introduction

Making this turn-around northwest we face the Gra de Fajol Petit (2.567 m). We see it among the trunks. If it is summer, you have it harder since the leaves cover your eyes.
These clear green bark trees when young, belong to the poplar family. They are poplars of mountain that we can find in greater height. They do not form forests but they form clays accompanying the oak grove or pine grove. They also leave in isolation by spotting these forests that we say, or hazelnuts even after water with ash and willows.
The leaves with a very long and thin petiole tremble easily with little wind. In addition, it takes autumn colorations that range from intense yellow to red wine (foto). The leaves have been used as a winter forage. Wood is the best of all poplars but since large forests are not made it is not exploitable forestally. Matching, sticks, toys and paper pulp were made.
