A little further away is the best-preserved cedar forest in Morocco, where you can see Barbary monkeys jumping; you can give them peanuts and take pictures. Along the cedar forest trail, you can even see the gray swirls of the Atlas or wild boar.

We will stop for lunch in a local restaurant where you will taste a traditional Moroccan Tajine, then we will continue our journey to explore Ifran or the “Little Switzerland”, cross the flowery avenues, and admire the French architecture of this picturesque little town.
