A beautiful trail combining woodland and open areas.
Most of the trails are in good condition, even when narrow.
It is worth noting that the stages can be easily modified to reduce the distance.
I really enjoyed this walk.
Thanks to whoever shared it.

Great hike.
A good mix of open and shaded areas, climbs and, of course, descents.
Thank you.

A very pleasant hike, the first half of which (north side of the hike) we have done. Quiet paths and clear, very passable trails. An excellent and beautiful hike. Many thanks to the person who posted it online.

A very pleasant hike alternating between forest, plains, fields and small paths. Very few tarmac roads. Encounters with horses, cows, sheep... Completed in 3 hours and 20 minutes at a brisk walking pace!
