Easy
Departure from Vénérand (Charente-Maritime)
The hike is mostly in the woods, on dirt tracks as they say here. There is little elevation gain and very little tarmac. You are guaranteed to be surrounded by nature, with flora and fauna.
Pointe de Bellevue, aptly named

Departure from Châtel (Haute-Savoie)
For lovers of breathtaking scenery, this is an outing not to be missed. The 360° panorama is worth the detour: Lake Geneva, Dents du Midi, Mont Blanc, etc. The first part, up to Portes de Culet, is not difficult. The second part, up to the summit, is more physically demanding.
