The banks of the Sèvre Niortaise at the start of Ricou
Hike starting from Ricou. The trail first joins the approximately five-hectare Ricou quarry geosite, located on the right bank of the Sèvre Niortaise river in the commune of Azay-le-Brûlé.

The gradient is very gentle, ideal for warming up your legs at a leisurely pace. The circular hamlet route: Mons, Fenioux and Kadoré. The route then revolves around three authentic villages: Mons: A peaceful passage where you can appreciate the local stone architecture. Fenioux: A central crossing point that often offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Kadoré: The last hamlet before heading back down to the valley.

Parcours autour de Clavé
Ce parcours comporte des chemins variés, assez peu de route.
Il est à faire plutôt en été, automne (chemins assez humides).
Il faut soit des poneys aguerris, soit être prêt à quitter sa monture pour lui montrer le passage en 2 ou 3 endroits.
Il n'y a qu'1 ou 2 chemins où le galop est possible.
Beaucoup de pas, du trot de temps à autre.
À éviter les après-midis en week-end du fait de la présence de piétons autour du lac à Clavé.
