The trail continues in a ridge line and then follows a long descent into the rainforest to the Lorrain River, reached after crossing two small rivers. Here, you are at the halfway point after a 1h30 walk (1).
After crossing the river, you can turn left to go to the "Trou d'eau", and enjoy this fresh water pool before going up the other side. Now you're off for an hour of climbing. Indeed, the path climbs slowly and takes you back to the edge of the RD1.
