That would indeed be an idea... with a definite advantage for hikers, but more difficult for hunters than shooting defenceless animals. But then, this site is not here to discuss the merits of hunting...

Yes, that's an idea worth exploring!

Another beautiful dreamlike path, a moment of peace. As hunting season had not yet begun, there were no gunshots to silence the birds, which was nice.
We could still inform hunters in countries where there are wars so that they can practise without restriction, and that would give us a moment of peace for those who live outside the battlefields and for the animals.

We had already done this route in September 2020 (see comments), but we wanted to show off and followed the yellow markings, which meant we got lost at one point and ended up taking much longer to get back!
The moral of the story: follow the Randoviso description carefully, especially at the start of this hike!
In fact, we almost walked around the entire Vuitton property... and it's huge!!!!!!!

A magnificent and very easy hike through woods that are a delight to walk through. You'll be enchanted by the croaking of frogs as you approach one of the many ponds that dot the trail. Despite seeing an impressive number of deer tracks, we weren't lucky enough to spot any deer, unfortunately.
Many thanks to Jean-Louis Pinault for this superb hike, which we will definitely do again if our travels bring us back to this beautiful region.
For your information, there is a car park just before you cross the Bonne Heure bridge and another one before that, opposite the town hall.

We enjoyed the route on Sunday morning in the sunshine.
The buildings in Sologne have been beautifully renovated.
Thank you for the description of the route, it's a bonus.
Happy hiking.

A pleasant route, best avoided on very sunny, hot days as the first part is not very shaded...
Note: for picnics or rest stops before or after the hike, there is a very pleasant spot between the pond and the Bonne Heure river, with a mossy, worm-eaten but well-shaded table...

Forests and ponds. A few beautiful farmhouses.
Beautiful, well-maintained paths.
No signposts, but easy to follow.
