Some paths are poorly maintained. The route is pretty cool. No other hikers apart from me and my two companions.

A lovely walk in a deciduous forest, perfect for these hot days. The paths are rarely used, so there is sometimes tall grass dotted with old forestry work.
But today, how quiet the forest is! It's a shame you can't photograph silence...

Very beautiful hike in the forest, very quiet, well marked
No particular difficulty, however, there is a slightly steep descent towards the end and passages obstructed by tall grass (very tall) along the stream in Vau des Boeufs on the way down to Fontaine des Carmes.

Hello,
Hike completed today. It's true that the starting point isn't easy to find, but with the GPS coordinates it's fairly simple. Regarding point 2, the path is no longer maintained, but you just need to stay on the path and continue to the next junction. There, turn right, continue for about a hundred metres, then turn left. In fact, you just need to follow the red and yellow GRP markings to point 3. If you follow the directions, you'll find the menhir very easily. The map is very clear and well done.

Hello, I tried this hike with my GPS, but I lost my way between points 2 and 3 because the path had become overgrown and was no longer maintained. I took the path slightly further inland, which was clear and suitable for mountain biking.
So if you want to do this hike, bring boots and thick trousers (brambles and nettles).
Similarly, if you have SAINT-MIHIEL behind you, use the car park 500 metres to the left.
And I didn't see the menhir either.

The starting point is not that easy to find, as the Sainte Marguerite fountain is not marked anywhere. Why not start the hike near the Carmes fountain? It is clearly marked and has a proper car park.
Then it was impossible to find the intersection at point 2. There was nothing on the route to indicate the Buxières trench.
In short, we made our own route but didn't see the menhir.
