A pleasant and easy hike.
The only downside is the starting point. It would be good to indicate that the start is on the path leading to "Les Millets" or to start, as we did, from the junction at La Quenodière on the path leading to "Les Millets".

Hello,

Thank you for your comment.

In the end, we went on the Vailly sur Sauldre hike

It would be a good idea to rewrite your comment about this hike.

See you soon

Perhaps it would have been better not to post this review here, but rather on the Vailly sur Sauldre page, where it would be more likely to be read by hikers who are interested.
Kind regards,

In the end, we decided to hike from Vailly to Sauldre.

And right from the start, we encountered difficulties. The cross that was marked just after the exit from Vailly does not exist, or no longer exists. This forced us to make at least two round trips to make sure we were on the right path.
The vocabulary used also sometimes tripped us up: for example, the words "go around" or "follow" did not seem precise enough to us.
Some parts of the landscape have probably also changed between the time the walk was written and the time we did it.
Perhaps we will need to do the route again to modify some of the information?

A very pleasant, easy hike (very gradual inclines), done in beautiful sunshine and ideal moderate temperatures. Very varied landscapes.
One (friendly) comment: at point 2, at the T-junction, it says "take the tree-lined sunken path on the left and head for Bissiols d'en Bas"; in fact, you take this sunken path before the T-junction. At the crossroads, you actually take a small road on the left to reach and cross the hamlet and join the D 54.
At the end of the route, to avoid walking on tarmac, we opted for an alternative route at the place known as La Georgette. Instead of turning right onto the Route des Étangs à la Croix, we took a path almost opposite, i.e. to the south-east, to join the Rd 54 at Les Silo. Go around the silos on the left, and behind them take a very deep path lined with trees (very nice) to reach the place called "La Chapelle" and then, via the small road that extends from the path, join the Route de la Gueraudière and finish the route.

On a beautiful sunny afternoon, we thoroughly enjoyed this late winter hike.
The landscapes were very varied, with woods, meadows, vineyards and beautiful views of Sancerre and the Nièvre, and very little tarmac, which is a significant advantage. The map is very informative. However, you need to pay attention as there are other marked trails.
A beautiful hike that is highly recommended in summer.
Thank you.

This route is all the more interesting because it is difficult to improvise your own route in the surrounding area, as many of the trails marked on the IGN rando map are non-existent or located on private property that is closed off due to horses, among other reasons.
The estimated time of 3 hours and 35 minutes is quite generous. It takes a little less than 3 hours at a leisurely pace.

Nice hike, shame you can't see much of the region's vineyards. However, it's very pretty and easy to do!
The difficulty level isn't really average, but rather between easy and average.

I took a detour at one point because I must have taken the wrong path, so I didn't go through Bissols d'en Bas. However, I found my way back to the hike without any problems.
