A mixed route of tarmac and dirt roads, fairly quiet. Pleasant and guaranteed fresh air. Not too difficult. However, I cut it short a little to stay within the 12 km limit for our association. It's a route I was familiar with, but a big thank you to the creator of this route. Happy holidays to all.

Diverse landscape with stud farms and thatched cottages. At Les Petites Aubinières, we turned right, where the landscape is more beautiful, to reach Impasse Lampèrière.

A varied route, best done in winter to enjoy the view of the Piencourt manor house from above.

Hello Pasmi
Where did you encounter difficulties? I don't see any myself, even though all the paths are very wet at the moment. ......
