Moderate
Departure from Brassy (Nièvre)
This circular route will take you through varied landscapes where you will encounter water as you cross the Chalaux, stop near the Étang des Vernois, pass along the Lac de Chaumeçon and numerous small streams, which you will sometimes have to jump over! You will also pass through several hamlets. The route alternates between woodland and more open passages.
The hike can be done in either direction.
Apart from the first 200 metres on the D6, the hike only takes you along small, generally quiet local roads and paths.

Departure from Brassy (Nièvre)
This loop hike takes you from the forested areas west of Brassy to the more open countryside around Gâcogne and Vauclaix, with open views towards Lormes and Corbigeois. No refreshments en route, unless you make a diversion via the market town of Gâcogne - check by telephone beforehand that the inn is open. Can also be done from Lavault or Vauclaix. The climbs are shadier in the recommended direction.
