Thank you for the route, enjoyable walk
When crossing St Saens, it would be better to take Rue Paul Lesueur, which is quieter than Rue du 8 Mai, which is close to traffic.

Have a good day.

It is very common to encounter roe deer, does and stags in this forest, which happened to me twice. It is a wonderful sight. I highly recommend it. Enjoy your hike in the Eawy Forest.
