A very beautiful hike through forests, fields and villages. The directions are quite precise and easy to follow. We stopped for a picnic break at the Angicourt sports ground. Including only the walking time, it took us 2 hours and 45 minutes.

A pleasant, undulating hike.
Varied and exotic landscapes.
two and a half hours at a moderate pace is sufficient to complete the route.
I would happily do it again in milder weather.
Thank you to the author.

A lovely, peaceful hike in the countryside, completed in 2½ hours without rushing.
The elevation gain and loss are 220 metres, not nearly 900 metres as stated on the information sheet!

Very good location, surrounded by forest, very pleasant. However, there are no signs along the way. No markings. Please note, the junction before the Courcoulet signpost is not specified.
