Corps de Garde
Corps de Garde (720 m) is the rocky wall overlooking Rose Hill and Quatre Bornes. The path leaves the roadside near Camp Levieux and climbs straight up, marked with white stones, to the ridgeline. From there you turn south and follow a clear track behind a rock outcrop to the summit. The ascent is steady but not technical, and the view more than repays the effort: the Plaines Wilhems towns, Trois Mamelles, Le Pouce and the distant west coast. An ideal urban hike at sunrise.
