The route is mainly through forest, with few views except at the end. Disappointed by the waterfall, which is overgrown with brush. Best done in the shade on a sunny day

Following this route with the description provided is not easy, especially when you come to the numerous trail intersections. Fortunately, the hunters were there to put us back on the right track. The directions are not at all precise, and I'm not saying that out of ignorance, as I've been trail running and hiking for over 30 years. So be careful, use GPS, it will be safer.

A very pleasant route, almost always in the shade and often alongside a small stream whose coolness is much appreciated, especially as it was a hot day! Pretty waterfall, less shade in the last section but with lovely views.

A beautiful day and a lovely walk through the woods, then out into magnificent countryside. At (4) we extended the route towards Sarméger and then along the right bank of the Pas des Bêtes dam. At point 552 towards the D61. Then the GR 653 to Boissezon. A beautiful 14 km walk.
Thank you, Visorando.

A lovely walk following the route on my smartphone, which is very accurate.
A beautiful route through peaceful woodland.
The pretty little village of Boisseson.

The route is almost entirely in the forest, making it ideal in hot weather, but don't expect many views.
Beautiful waterfall.
BE CAREFUL AT THE START: do not pass the post office and then turn right, but turn right in front of the post office.

A tree-lined road and country lane with little mud and little traffic. About a hundred metres from the mini car park opposite the town hall, after and above the post office, there is currently a barrier blocking the way due to roadworks. We climbed over the low wall on the right to continue. There were no construction vehicles or signs of roadworks on this Sunday. A gentle slope, an easy and pleasant hike. Only 1 hour and 40 minutes of brisk walking in our case. Perhaps we missed a section of this route? We completed it using the directions and the Visorando route on my smartphone, which I only allowed to use the GPS function. I am new to this application. I experienced a few positioning glitches on my screen for several minutes, but the written directions from "WALLY31" and the simplicity of the route were enough to complete the circular route. At point 5, the staircase waterfall, we continued to the left instead of to the right, as a sign indicated that the path was "private property". There are many other signs like this along the hike, but these are only for the woods around the communal path we are taking. The final third before the cemetery is the prettiest, as pointed out by "corvettec3". Very green and invigorating, it overlooks Boissezon. Many thanks to "visorandonneur WALLY31" for sharing this beautiful experience, as well as to those who gave their opinions, they made me want to try it!

Nice hike, with a slight incline, the second part is more interesting with beautiful views.

The first two-thirds of the route are through woodland and along easy forest paths or roads, which are pleasant but nothing special. The last third is more interesting, with more open woodland and beautiful views before the descent to Boissezon.
