A varied route taking in housing estates, woodland and fields. It offers a chance to escape the daily grind without straying too far from the town. There are some rather pleasant stretches through woodland between Pechbonnieu and Montberon.
The 3-hour time estimate allows for a leisurely stroll; 2 hours is sufficient if you maintain a steady walking pace.

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed by this walk, which is largely along tarmac roads lined with houses. There isn’t much to see. There were a few pleasant stretches, though.
